Stereograph (printing press)

The Sterograph (Greek) is a letterpress printing machine invented in Vilnius around 1873 by Iosif Nikolaevich Livchak, also written in contemporary German sources , which is hardly larger than a normal contemporary sewing machine , for the production of stereotype matrices without prior typesetting . The latter is made by wrapping types , one after the other, into a prepared, semi-soft plate, which is always pushed forward by the machine mechanism by the width of the type being enveloped, with the typesetter writing the wording of the manuscript on a keyboard, as with most typesetting machines . Until the beginning of the 1890s, technically satisfactory results could not be achieved with the stereograph.
