contents: Case used by the hand-composing-department of the 'N.V. Boekhandel en Drukkerij', formerly E.J. Brill, in Leiden. This type of case has both lower case (small) letters) and upper case (large) letters. Each character (including numerals and punctuation marks) has its own place in the case. The size of the compartments depends on the frequency of its use: an e, for instance, is used more often than a q, so the compartment for e is larger than the one for q.
