I recall scanning the whole pamphlet at some point, but can't find the PDF. The keyboard method is interesting in that almost all of the time one is keying parts of characters rather than whole characters. Most of the basic letters are composed of half form + akar stroke.
Thanks for the explanation. (@tsmullaney might be interested re: Chinese.)
Linotype never succeeded in making a Chinese machine. Only a quasiChinese one in the 1920s
Oh, I meant more as another example of combining glyphs to create characters.
