A Useful Typometer.—
The Gutenberg-Journal describes and illustrates an ingenious typometer, the invention of M. Sixte Albert. It consists of a narrow band of steel divided off and numbered in divisions of typographical points and millimetres. A peculiarly shaped attachment at one end serves as a lock when the measure is rolled up, and also as a standard measure of height of types, rules, and leads.
