A capable operator can write at the rate of 1000 characters an hour, which seems slow in comparison with the speed of an American machine.

Certainly the degraded and impoverished natives of Palestine, who would be raised up to "Rutenberg prosperity" during such a process, might be expected to identify the hand of Pinchas Rutenberg with that of Providence...
