16 Chapter 2 <br />Type composition <br />2.44. Operators and revisers must study carefully the rules governing <br />composition. <br />2.45. In correcting pickup matter, the operator must indicate plainly on <br />the proof what portion, if any, was actually reset. <br />2.46. Every precaution must be taken to prevent the soiling of proofs, as it <br />is necessary for the reviser to see clearly every mark on the margin <br />of a proof aft er it has been corrected. <br />2.47. Corrections of queries intended for the author are not to be made. <br />Such queries, however, are not to be carried on jobs going directly <br />to press. <br />Leading and spacing <br />2.48. Spacing of text is governed by the leading, narrow spacing being <br />more desirable in solid than in leaded matter. <br />2.49. A s i n g l e j u s t i fi ed word space will be used between sentences. Th is <br />applies to all types of composition. <br />2.50. C e nt e r o r fl ush heads set in caps, caps and small caps, small caps, or <br />boldface are keyed with regular justifi ed spaces between words. <br />2.51. Centerheads are set apart from the text by the use of spacing. Th e <br />amount of space varies with each publication. However, more space <br />is always inserted above a heading than below. In 10-point type, the <br />spacing would be 10 points over and 8 points under a heading; in 8- <br />and 6-point type, the spacing would be 8 points above and 6 points <br />below. <br />2.52. Solid matter (text) is defi ned as those lines set without horizontal <br />space between them. Leaded text is defi ned as lines separated by 1 <br />or 2 points of space. <br />2.53. Unless otherwise marked, fl ush heads are separated from text by 4 <br />points of space above and 2 points of space below in solid matter, <br />and by 6 points of space above and 4 points of space below in leaded <br />matter. <br />chapter2.indd 16chapter2.indd 16 1/27/09 9:59:36 AM1/27/09 9:59:36 AM
