  • Photographic composition system using a font strip having a non-uniform character distribution
    Patent number: 3995147
    Abstract: An improved photographic composition system utilizes a pulsed light source which projects a beam of light through a character outline on a font strip to produce an image which is reflected by a mirror onto a light sensitive sheet. The font strip character distribution is based on three factors: first is the frequency of occurrence of each character, second is the frequency of occurrence of adjacent characters, and third is the rotational speed of the drum which carries the font strip.
