Period
This artifact was purchased in the early to mid 1970s.
Canada
The CompuWriter was the first inexpensive direct-entry text phototypesetter incorporating an integrated keyboard. There was no need for paper tape or other intermediate technology. Justification, character width, line length and other values were all set on the console with little need to key in coding. Film strips were installed on a rotating drum and brought before a lens for exposure. The output of a machine was paper file which, after processing, could be used for camera-ready paste-up. Le CompuWriter était le premier photocompositeur à entrer des données directes qui incorporait un clavier. Il ne nécessitait pas l'utilisation d'un ruban de composition ou d'autre technologie pour l'assister dans son travail. La largeur des caractères, la longueur des lignes, la justification et d'autres spécifications pouvaient être prédéterminés sur la console avec peu d'obligation de programmation manuelle. Des bandes de films étaient installés sur un tambour rotatif et ils étaient apportés en avant d’une lentille pour une durée d'exposition. La sortie de la machine produisait un fichier en papier qui pouvait être utilisé pour des montages des prêts-photos.
Function
This box was designed to ship wax was that was melted inside of a wax coater. It was then used to wax photographic typesetting paper after it had been exposed and dried. Cette boîte était fabriquée pour emballer et transporter du cire qui était fondue à l'intérieur d'une cireuse. Il était utilisé pour ciré du papier photographique produit par une composeuse après qu'il était exposé et sécher.
Technical
This artifact was purchased by the donor in the 1970’s for typesetting in his publishing business, Museum Restoration Service (military history). The publishing business was situated in Bloomfield, Ontario. “For the first time in history the small printing and typesetting companies could participate in the use of new electronic technology for a manageable investment”. This factor was one of many that led to the donor acquiring his typesetter. He paid approximately 5,000$ and the cheapest competitor had its model starting at 30, 000$. It was claimed that Compugraphic and the CompuWriter in particular altered both the perceptions and expectations of the printing industry, establishing photosetting as a common industrial process. Cet artefact a été acheté par le donateur dans les années 1970s pour la composition avec son entreprise d'édition nommée ‟Museum Restoration Service” situé à Bloomfield en Ontario. “Pour la première fois dans l'histoire les petites entreprises d'imprimerie et d'édition avaient l'occasion de faire partie dune nouvelle vague de technologie électronique qui nécessitait un investissement plutôt minimal”. Pour cette raison le donateur a acquis sa composeuse. Il a payé $5000 tandis que modèle le moins cher du compétiteur était $30,000. Le Compugraphic et le CompuWriter ont modifier les perceptions et les attentes de l'industrie d'imprimerie et a établi la photocomposition comme une activité commune dans ce processus.
