In 1950, a U.S.-made typesetter that no longer was based on making metal type was first put public display at the Sixth Educational Graphic Arts Exposition, in Chicago, Illinois. It was the Intertype Fotosetter Photogtaphic Line Composing Machine, manufactured by the Intertype Corp. of Brooklyn, N.Y. The first installation had been made at the plant of Stecher-Traung Lithograph Corporation in 1949.
