Gutenberg's method for making type is traditionally considered to have included a type metal alloy and a hand mould for casting type.

Gutenberg's key invention and contribution to movable-type printing in Europe, the hand mould was the first practical means of making cheap copies of letterpunches in the vast quantities needed to print complete books, making the movable-type printing process a viable enterprise.

Greek and Hebrew texts would become available with the development of the Johann Gutenberg's movable-type printing press which coincided with the development of Early Modern English, making English a literary language, and would lead to a great increase in the number of translations of the Bible in the Early Modern English era.

Gutenberg's early printing process, and what tests he may have made with movable type, are not known in great detail.

A quarter of the 180 copy edition of Johannes Gutenberg's first Bible printed in 1455 with movable type was also printed on vellum, presumably because his market expected this for a high-quality book.

In the early fifteenth century, however, the Koreans invented a form of movable type that has been described by the French scholar Henri-Jean Martin as ' similar to Gutenberg's '; the Western invention may have been stimulated by what had happened in the East.

" Modern Book Printing " from the Walk of Ideas in Berlin, Germany-built in 2006 to commemorate Johannes Gutenberg's invention, c. 1445, of movable printing type.

Although the knowledge of casting soft metals in moulds was well established before Johannes Gutenberg's time, his discovery of an alloy that was hard, durable, and would take a clear impression from the mould ( because it did not shrink as much as lead alone when cooled ) represents a fundamental aspect of his solution to the problem of printing with movable type.

Friedrich Fröbel ( 1782 – 1852 ) opened a Play and Activity institute in 1837 in the village of Bad Blankenburg in principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, Thuringia, which he renamed Kindergarten on June 28, 1840 to mark the four-hundredth anniversary of Gutenberg's invention of movable type.

In the mid-15th century, Johannes Gutenberg's invention of modern printing, employing movable type, revolutionized communication, helping to end the Middle Ages and to usher in the Scientific Revolution.

Movable metal type, and composing stick, descended from Gutenberg's press.

However, the type used in Gutenberg's earliest work shows other variations.

The irregularities in Gutenberg's type, particularly in simple characters such as the hyphen, suggested that the variations could not have come from either ink smear or from wear and damage on the pieces of metal on the types themselves.

Sometime around 1450, Johann Gutenberg's printing press made books widely available in Europe.

Gutenberg's inventions and works ( such as the Gutenberg Bible ) would play key roles for the development of the Reformation and the Scientific Revolution.

Gutenberg's printing technology spread rapidly throughout Europe and later the world.

Gutenberg's year of birth is not precisely known but was most likely around 1398.

John Lienhard, technology historian, says " Most of Gutenberg's early life is a mystery.

Nothing is now known of Gutenberg's life for the next fifteen years, but in March 1434, a letter by him indicates that he was living in Strasbourg, where he had some relatives on his mother's side.

Gutenberg's workshop was set up at Hof Humbrecht, a property belonging to a distant relative.

Meanwhile the expenses of the Bible project had proliferated, and Gutenberg's debt now exceeded 20, 000 guilders.

In January 1465, Gutenberg's achievements were recognized and he was given the title Hofmann ( gentleman of the court ) by von Nassau.

This church and the cemetery were later destroyed, and Gutenberg's grave is now lost.

A large part of it was shown to have been set from a copy of Gutenberg's Bible, thus disproving earlier speculation that it may have been the earlier of the two.

However, recent evidence suggests that Gutenberg's process was somewhat different.

Project Gutenberg, the oldest digital library, commemorates Gutenberg's name.

In 1997, Time – Life magazine picked Gutenberg's invention as the most important of the second millennium.

Hart later came to an arrangement with Carnegie Mellon University, which agreed to administer Project Gutenberg's finances.

it was published in Heungdeok Temple in 1377, 78 years prior to Johannes Gutenberg's " 42-Line Bible " printed during the years 1452-1455.

* Project Gutenberg's Narrative New Netherland, edited by J. Franklin Jameson, includes a footnote about the life of Minuit, but gives an improbable birth date of 1550.

Competent teachers are well versed in the technique of leading students to pre-set conclusions without destroying the students' illusion that they are making their own decisions.

Detection limits for this technique are in the parts-per-billion range making it an excellent mercury detection atomization method.

Another problem is that background is not measured at the same wavelength as total absorption, making the technique unsuitable for correcting structured background.

The same algorithm can actually also be used to correct for direct line overlap of two atomic absorption lines, making HR-CS AAS the only AAS technique that can correct for this kind of spectral interference.

" Slap style " may have influenced electric bass guitar players who, from the mid-sixties ( particularly Larry Graham of Sly and the Family Stone ), developed a technique called slap and pop that used the thumb of the plucking hand to hit the string, making a slapping sound but still letting the note ring, and the index or middle finger of the plucking hand to pull the string back so it hits the fretboard, achieving the pop sound described above.

The Taq polymerase was heat resistant and would only need to be added once, thus making the technique dramatically more affordable and subject to automation.

The technique is named after U. S. Olympian Dave Volz, who made an art form of the practice and surprised many by making the U. S. Olympic team in 1992.

A wrestler with a signature submission technique is portrayed as better at applying the hold, making it more painful or more difficult to get out of than others who use it.

The classical PCR technique can be applied only to DNA strands, but, with the help of reverse transcriptase, RNA can be transcribed into DNA, thus making PCR analysis of RNA molecules possible.

Assault requires the competitors to focus on their technique while still making contact ; referees assign penalties for the use of excessive force.

In Rimsky-Korsakov's memoirs, Chronicle of My Musical Life, the composer praises his keen ear, his ability to detect errors, and his overall technique, but faults him for his rapid tempi, his interpretational inflexibility and insensitivity, and, most of all, for his habit of making sweeping cuts.

Freeze drying of specimens is another technique that has the advantage of preserving stomach contents and anatomy, although it tends to shrink making it less reliable for morphometrics.

Also, Karl Brown's original technique looked at many minisatellite loci at the same time, increasing the observed variability, but making it hard to discern individual alleles ( and thereby precluding parental testing ).

The arc is more concentrated than the GTAW arc, making transverse control more critical and thus generally restricting the technique to a mechanized process.

It has also been claimed that, in the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan enjoyed ice cream and kept it a royal secret until Marco Polo visited China and took the technique of making ice cream to Italy.

Wald characterized admissible procedures as Bayesian procedures ( and limits of Bayesian procedures ), making the Bayesian formalism a central technique in such areas of frequentist inference as parameter estimation, hypothesis testing, and computing confidence intervals .< ref >*

Pre-computed dictionary attacks can be thwarted by the use of salt, a technique that forces the hash dictionary to be recomputed for each password sought, making precomputation infeasible provided the number of possible salt values is large enough.

* Cementation process, an obsolete technique for making steel by carburization of iron

Resin makes a bowling ball tackier than it would otherwise be, increasing its ability to hook into the pins at an angle and ( with correct technique ) making strikes easier to achieve.

The mathematical technique of abstraction begins with mathematical definitions, making it a more technical approach than the general concept of abstraction in philosophy.

This technique is attractive because the scale of the moiré pattern is much larger than the deflection that causes it, making measurement easier.

The German Mozart tenor tradition goes back to end of the 1920s when Mozart tenors started making use of Caruso's technique to achieve and improve the required dynamics and dramatic expressiveness.

This can be contrasted with moving a story forward with narrative technique ; that is, by making things happen because characters take action for solid, well-motivated reasons.

Sausage making is a traditional food preservation technique.
