Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and/or device wherein a cathode ray tube (CRT) is dismantled into components, in a relatively dust free and safe environment, utilizing an energy efficient method, creating an end product of crushed leaded glass, leaded dust, nickel containing material and steel in a form suitable for recycling. The present invention is especially useful in lieu of discarding or landfilling CRTs, since the leaded glass of CRTs has been regulated and classified as a "regulated hazardous waste" accordingly to recent United States government land ban regulations, and are therefore banned from landfilling.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of typography. In this field, it is desirable to quickly and efficiently determine certain key ratios between cap height and type size of a letter in a particular typeface, in order to create various aesthetic results. In situations where variations in typeface height normally cause problems, such as: matching specimens of typeface; filling vertical spaces; and dropping caps, among others, the task of determining this ratio is complicated by the fact that typefaces with the same point size may actually differ in height, and typefaces of the same name may vary in size according to the typesetting system which produces them. In such situations, the instant invention is particularly useful.
