The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Phototypesetting eliminates the use of hot metal. In this method of printing an operator selects characters by use of a keyboard, causing a character to be projected directly on to a film by means of light rays sent through an opaque background with a transparent character. Next, a photographic negative so prepared is placed on the offset lithographic plate, which is a metal plate with a sensitized surface. It is then exposed to light and thereafter prepared to be put on the press for printing purposes, i. e., photographic typesetting by-passes the entire hot metal operation and makes available directly from the machine the photographic negative from which the lithographic plate can be made.””
