Ex. The compositor's apparatus was in three main parts: the type cases already described; a composing stick, which was a hand-held tray in which pieces of type from the case were assembled; and galleys, larger trays on which pieces of type from the case were transferred when the composing stick was full.

Ex. A serious omission or duplication in a page of prose, for instance, might necessitate the rejustification of dozens of lines, whereas if the mistake had been spotted in the stick it could have been set right in a matter of moments.
