  "term": "Monotype",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A brand of hot metal typesetting machine that casts individual letters as pieces of metal type, which are then assembled into lines. Unlike the Linotype machine which casts a solid slug of a full line, the Monotype system produces separate characters, allowing for easier manual correction of errors by replacing single letters. The system consists of two separate machines: a keyboard for punching a paper tape and a caster that reads the tape to produce the type.",
