It will now be possible to print Hebrew with the vowel marks on the monotype machine, Lord Askwith announced at the annual meeting of the Lanston Monotype Corporation here.
Lord Askwith stated that an invention had been perfected for this type. The machine has been enlarged in order to print 48-point instead of 36-point type. It is expected that 72-point will soon be available, making the machine the largest in the world.
W. J. Burch said that with the development in Palestine and the opening of the Hebrew University, there would be an ever-growing demand for the new machine.
