- (n.) A kind of typesetting machine which produces castings, each of which corresponds to a line of separate types. By pressing upon keys like those of a typewriter the matrices for one line are properly arranged; the stereotype or slug, is then cast and planed, and the matrices are returned to their proper places, the whole process being automatic.
- (n.) The slug produced by the machine or matter composed in such lines.
