contents: The inventor of this typesetting machine was Emanuel Louis Tschulik who lived in Vienna. In the article from which this illustration is taken, it is noted that the machine was very much like a 'table-shaped piano-forte because of the fact it has a keyboard with 120 keys with upper and lower keys which are indicated by the typographic symbols and which, if pressed, will cause these symbols to be composed'. This 'Tschuliks machine' was not quite as it should be in 1846 but it would in the future be able to compose 20,000 letters in an hour and would cost at least 1500 'Prussian guilders'.
