Lin"o*type (?), n. [See Line ;
Type.] (Print.) (a) A kind of
typesetting machine which produces castings, each of which corresponds
to a line of separate types. By pressing upon keys like those of a
typewriter the matrices for one line are properly arranged; the
stereotype, or slug, is then cast and planed, and the matrices are
returned to their proper places, the whole process being
automatic. (b) The slug produced by the
machine, or matter composed in such lines. --
