Talk:Type casting (typography)

Invention
Is it correct to say that David Bruce invented the first automated type casting machine when Henri Didot patented a machine 33 years earlier? Is use of the word "automated" simply fudging to give credit to someone other than the real inventor? I'm not familiar enough with printing to answer these questions.
