Variant company name:

"Lanston Monotype Machine Company was founded by Tolbert Lanston in Washington D.C., USA, in 1887. Lanston had a patented mechanical method of punching out metal types from cold strips of metal which were set (hence typesetting) into a matrix for the printing press. In 1896 Lanston patented the first hot metal typesetting machine and Monotype issued Modern Condensed, its first typeface. The licenses for the Lanston type library have been acquired by P22, a digital type foundry based in Buffalo, N.Y. In a search for funding, the company set up a branch in London, England, in 1897 under the name Lanston Monotype Corporation Ltd." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotype  Search this
