Interred in Printing House Vaults: Pianotype Composing Machines of the 1840s
2016
Overview
[...]the compositor's work was complex and not easily replicated by machines. Composing machines have received some attention from feminist, printing, and trade union historians. 8 However, these studies have focused on linear narratives of invention and assimilation rather than on locating the pianotype in its cultural context.\\n Rather, pianotype is interesting in its own right as a tactile invention that relied on human interaction to create readable texts.
