To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The types and spaces were laid on an oscillating plane ; thence they passed to a " directing plane "; and thence in a row by oblique bars to " directing passages. " From these they passed to a "sifting or separating plate, " furnished with apertures sufficiently long to admit of the spaces passing through them, but not long enough to allow of types pass- ing. The types were, by obstacles in their paths, turned round and shot down " diagonal ways " to another plate, where they were caused to tur...n round again, and fall against oblique guides. There was after this a "plate for separating the classes, " from whence the types of the same sub-divisions passed to the "com- mon conductor, " at the end of wh'ich was a "plane for separating by thickness, " furnished with a series of bridges of de- creasing height. The complexity, indeed, is rather amusing, and we are not sur- prised to learn that when M. Gaubert set up one or two of his machines in Paris, they soon demonstrated themselves to be an utter failure.
