CONTROLLER PAPER
Monotype Computer Controller
VERY SMALL FLAW

THE PAPER PERFORATIONS were computer controlled. After keystroking the text the controller paper was spooled onto standard English Monotype Composition Machine.

This was never offered by the American Lanston Monotype Machine Company. Some Monotype operators ignored the restrictions of the different tractor feed perforations encountering some but not unmanageable difficulties.

It is uncertain if any of these computerized systems were adapted for American machines. Our tractor perforations were not the same. While the English had round feed perforations on both sides of the controller paper, the American Monotypes had round feed perforations on one side, a rectangular feed perforation on the other.

PERFORATED FOR CONTROLLER PAPER

THE COMPUTER DRIVEN PAPER CONTROLLER DEVICE. Paper sounds cheap, but it most certainly was not. In America the Keyboard Operator would use up about $3,000.00 per year in supplies. We developed our system free of paper, as did others. For instance.
