The great difficulty in making a machine to do this work properly was
that it was not possible to have the paper move back and forth as it
does in typewriting machines generally. For bound books the paper must
remain still, and the type moves over the page in the same manner that
the pen does.
The new book typewriter has mastered this difficulty. The page is held
firmly in a kind of frame, and the type moves with each letter or word
that it writes.
In making entries in books, it is highly necessary to be sure that the
writing is correct--and so this machine has a simple little device which
lifts the type up and shows the writing underneath.
