CAST LEADS. _See_ SPACE LINES.
CAST OFF COPY.
Counting or Casting off Copy (for both phrases are indifferently
used) is to examine and find how much either of printed copy will
come in into any intended number of sheets of a different body or
measure from the copy; or how much written copy will make an intended
number of sheets of any assigned body and measure.--_M._ It is also
used to ascertain how many sheets of a given sized page and letter
any quantity of prepared copy will make.
This is generally done by composing a line or two of the copy, if it
be manuscript, selected from the part that appears about the average
mode of writing, and ascertaining how many lines of the printed or
manuscript copy will make even lines in the proposed size; thus, if
10 lines of copy make 7 lines, or 7 lines of copy make 10 lines, the
quantity is easily calculated. Allowance must of course be made for
chapter heads, short pages, and any whites that may occur.
[Illustration: A tool to catch the press bar]
CATCH OF THE BAR
is a piece of wood two inches thick, four inches broad, and ten
inches long, with a groove in the lower part of it by which it is
screwed to the front of the off cheek, and may be heightened or
lowered at pleasure; the top of it is a little bevilled or sloped
off, that the bar may by its spring fly up the bevil till it
stick.--_M._
This catch is in my opinion superior to the one now used, which is
a piece of wood nailed to the far side of the off cheek, with an
opening in it, through which a sloping piece projects beyond the
front of the cheek, for the bar to slide up. The old one appears much
easier to justify, by means of the screw, without having any nails to
draw.
In very fine press work, where uniformity of pressure is to be
preserved, I would always cheek the bar, or bring it home, every
pull, and rest a short time upon it. In large forms, however, this
is too much exertion for a man to continue; and to obviate this
objection I had a catch made for some wooden presses, which, dropping
over the bar, held it close to the cheek, and enabled the pressman to
rest upon his pull sufficiently long without the continued strain to
his arm. It was screwed to the near cheek, and disengaged from the
press bar, by pulling a piece of string attached to its other end
through the small hole.

CATCH WORD.
The first word of the following page set at the right hand end of
the line of quadrats at the foot of each page; in which line is
also placed the signature in those pages where it is requisite. It
is likewise called the _Direction Word_. Catch words are now seldom
used, except in reprints, to preserve uniformity in the different
editions of the same work.
CATECHISMS.
For the allowance of the duty on paper used in the printing of the
Larger or Shorter Catechism of the Church of Scotland, _see_ PAPER.
CATER CORNER.
Paper, the sides of which are not at right angles with each other, is
termed _cater cornered_. It is disadvantageous for book work, as it
cannot be folded even, nor the outside margin made equal; of course
the size of the book must be reduced in the binding to make the fore
edge and foot of it smooth.

The fine lines, and the cross strokes at the tops and bottoms of
letters, are termed by the letter founders ceriphs.
CERTIFICATE.
By the act of the 39th Geo. 3. cap. 79., intituled “An Act for the
more effectual Suppression of Societies established for Seditious
and Treasonable Purposes; and for better preventing Treasonable and
Seditious Practices,” it is enacted--
a. 23. “And whereas many Societies, established of late Years
for treasonable and seditious Purposes, and especially the said
Societies of _United Englishmen_, _United Scotsmen_, _United
Irishmen_, and _United Britons_, and the said Society called
_The London Corresponding Society_, and other Corresponding
Societies, have at various Times caused to be published, in great
Quantities, divers printed Papers of an irreligious, treasonable,
and seditious Nature, tending to revile our holy Religion, and to
bring the Profession and Worship thereof into Contempt among the
Ignorant, and also to excite Hatred and Contempt of his Majesty’s
Royal Person, Government, and Laws, and of the happy Constitution
of these Realms, as by Law established, and utterly to eradicate
all Principles of Religion and Morality; and such Societies have
dispersed such printed Papers among the lower Classes of the
Community, either _gratis_, or at very low Prices, and with an
Activity and Profusion beyond all former Example: And whereas all
Persons printing or publishing any Papers or Writings are by Law
answerable for the Contents thereof, but such Responsibility hath
of late been in a great Degree eluded by the secret Printing and
Publication of such seditious, immoral, and irreligious Papers
or Writings as aforesaid, and it is therefore highly important
to the Publick Peace that it should in future be known by whom
any such Papers shall be printed; be it enacted, That, from
and after the Expiration of forty Days from the Day of passing
this Act, every Person having any Printing Press, or Types for
Printing, shall cause a Notice thereof, signed in the Presence
of, and attested by one Witness, to be delivered to the Clerk of
the Peace acting for the County, Stewartry, Riding, Division,
City, Borough, Town, or Place, where the same shall be intended
to be used, or his Deputy, according to the Form prescribed in
the Schedule hereunto annexed; and such Clerk of the Peace, or
Deputy respectively, shall, and he is hereby authorized and
required to grant a Certificate in the Form prescribed in the
Schedule hereunto annexed, for which such Clerk of the Peace,
or Deputy, shall receive the Fee of one Shilling, and no more,
and such Clerk of the Peace, or his Deputy, shall file such
Notice, and transmit an attested Copy thereof to one of his
Majesty’s Principal Secretaries of State; and every Person who,
not having delivered such Notice, and obtained such Certificate
as aforesaid, shall, from and after the Expiration of forty Days
next after the passing of this Act, keep or use any Printing
Press or Types for Printing, or having delivered such Notice, and
obtained such Certificate as aforesaid, shall use any Printing
Press or Types for Printing in any other Place than the Place
expressed in such Notice, shall forfeit and lose the Sum of
twenty Pounds.
s. 24. “Provided also, That nothing herein contained shall extend
to his Majesty’s Printers for _England_ and _Scotland_, or to the
Publick Presses belonging to the Universities of _Oxford_ and
_Cambridge_ respectively.”
s. 33. “And be it further enacted, That if any Justice of the
Peace, acting for any County, Stewartry, Riding, Division, City,
Borough, Town, or Place, shall, from Information upon Oath,
have reason to suspect that any Printing Press or Types for
Printing is or are used, or kept for Use without Notice given
and Certificate obtained as required by this Act, or in any
Place not included in such Notice and Certificate, it shall be
lawful for such Justice, by Warrant under his Hand and Seal, to
direct, authorize, and empower any Constable, Petty Constable,
Borsholder, Headborough, or other Peace Officer, in the Day Time,
with such Person or Persons as shall be called to his Assistance,
to enter into any such House, Room, and Place, and search for any
Press or Types for Printing; and it shall be lawful for every
such Peace Officer, with such Assistance as aforesaid, to enter
into such House, Room, or Place, in the Day Time accordingly,
and to seize, take, and carry away, every Printing Press found
therein, together with all the Types and other Articles thereto
belonging, and used in Printing, and all printed Papers found in
such House, Room, or Place.”

CHAPEL.
Every printing office is called a chapel. The term is supposed to
have had its origin from the first introduction of printing into
England by Caxton, who executed his works in a chapel adjoining
Westminster Abbey. Moxon however gives a different account, for which
_see_ ANCIENT CUSTOMS.
A chapel, in the technical sense of the word, is when the workmen
agree to certain rules for the good order of the printing office.
