Peter, thank you, kindly, for explaining the process.
I assume that the depth of the punch impression is carefully controlled,
or is the other end of each type slug trimmed to exact type height?

I'm still puzzled by the recesses cut into a copper plate, and how they
became flat-topped type slugs.

Just scanning incoming messages; I might have missed other replies.

Best regards,
