===Typesetters=== The company's first major project was the Linasec<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Stevens |first1=Mary Elizabeth |last2=Little |first2=John L |date=1967 |title=Automatic typographic-quality typesetting techniques: a state-of-the-art review |url=https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/MONO/nbsmonograph99.pdf |journal=NIST Technical Series |publisher=National Institute of Standards and Technology |doi=10.6028/NBS.MONO.99}}</ref> in 1964, an electronic special-purpose computer designed to justify paper tape for use on automated [[Linotype machine]]s. It was developed under contract to [[phototypesetting|phototypesetter]] manufacturer [[Compugraphic]], which retained the manufacturing rights of the Linasec. The success of the machine led Compugraphic to decide to manufacture it themselves, causing Wang to lose out on a million dollars in revenue.{{sfn|Kenney|1992|p=45}}
