Chase (printing)
(metal) frame that is used to contain a printing forme
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A chase is a heavy steel frame used to hold type in a letterpress.[1] Most of the space in the chase not occupied with type is filled with blocks of wood called furniture. The type and furniture are locked in place by quoins.[2] When a chase is locked up with type, furniture, and quoins, it is called a forme.
