The Monotype originates form the end of the nineteenth century, around the same time as the Linotype. The main differences are that this machine consists from two different parts; the keyboard was separated, and that the lead letters were cast individually, but on the correct order and ready to be used in the printing press.

Linotype.wiki is in full development. This page will be filled in later.
