rest convenient
for holding a galley, leads, or other articles, thus allowing the case
to be kept clear for composing. (See Fig. 19.)

A rack used to hold cases that are not often used is shown in Fig. 22.
Racks of this kind are made in different sizes to hold ten to thirty
cases, and in double tiers to hold forty to sixty cases.

cases.]

Tall racks which hold cases too high to be reached comfortably by a
person standing on the floor are not to be commended. While they may
occupy less floor space and because of this seem to be an advantage
where there are a great many cases that are seldom used, this advantage
is usually more than offset by their disadvantages. The upper cases are
difficult to handle and are liable to be pied. If the tall racks are
near a window they obstruct the light.

[Illustration: Fig. 21. Double Stand for tier of full size cases and
tier of two-third cases.]

A double stand of similar character to Fig. 18 is shown in Fig. 21, in
which the space below is fully utilized for two racks, one for full-size
cases and the other for two-third cases.

Many foremen do not approve the small size cases for type in common use,
preferring to have all the cases of a standard size, so that they may
fit the regular racks and stands and be interchangeable throughout the
department. To provide for this, double stands are made which have a
double tier of racks for full size cases, as shown in Fig. 20. This
double stand has the extra space on the top utilized by a narrow galley
shelf in the middle between the inclined case supports.

Another class of wooden case-stands is made with the frame having a flat
top or table upon which is fastened a set of iron brackets to hold the
working cases in an inclined position. These styles are illustrated in
Fig. 23.

_The Modern Type Cabinet_

The closed-in cabinet is the modern plan for a compositor's working
stand and for holding cases of type in common use. This is a frame or
stand enclosed at the sides and back to exclude dust and debris from the
cases. The case runs are thin (often of steel) and close together and
the fronts of the cases are made with extra high rims,
