Loomis, R: Progressive Exercises in Typography -

. .

Résumé :
Excerpt from Progressive Exercises in Typography: A Text for the School Print Shop and the Apprentice Printer

The course, as planned, leads the beginner from the very simplest exercise, step by step, through properly succeeding work which will give him experience in the essentials of printing. It is expected that he will follow the jobs through and perform each successive Operation to the completed job and the final distribution of the type.

It would be well to have each exercise set in a different manner, using various series of type and varying measures.

A notebook or scrapbook should be kept which will contain samples of work done by all members of the class or shop, together with work collected from other printing establishments.
