One of the most important tools for a compositor in a printing office is their composing stick. It helps with assembling and transferring the individual type from the type case to the galley before being locked in a form and printed. In this video, Howard discusses the parts of the composing stick and the different composing sticks we have in our print shop exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum. #letterpress #printingpress #printing #sacramento | Sacramento History Museum
