Used at the Perth Courier newspaper in Perth, ON.
Function
Provides a negative image and type characters for the production of photographic positive text.
Technical
The 7200 is a keyboard operated phototypesetter for setting headlines and sub headlines on photographic paper. The machine will typeset a single, extended line of type ranging in size from 7 to 72 points and up to 120 points with the 7200 High Range. The font strips are available in two sizes, Standard and Half-size. They have two rows of characters: Lower Rail [medium, upright face] and Upper Rail [italicized or bold face]. Any single font strip may be used in either the LM [lower magazine] or UM [upper magazine] of the font drum, but two font strips should be on the drum while rotating in order to reduce vibration and wear. [Ref. 2, p.1-1]
