Extract

The photographic production of scientific publications is on the increase. Consequently manuscripts which are fit for reproduction in this manner are necessary. Phonetic and linguistic papers often call for a mixed script, i.e. both the typemes of one (or more than one) language and the transcription symbols (phonetic and phonemic) are used. The preparation of a typescript of this sort is laborious even with the aid of a phonetic tandem-typewriter.

It may be mentioned here though not discussed that this system puts some speech-communities at a disadvantage from the very outset through its selection of symbols.

4 The first numeral indicates the number of the head (and the corresponding table), the Roman numeral shows the row, and the third numeral the number of the figure. If the third number is raised it means that the figure is typed with the shift-key depressed; a lowered third number indicates that the figure is typed without using the shift-key.
