The purpose of this experimental research is to restore Mu-Sin metal types, recast from Gap-In movable metal types, with the focus on the method of casting. The major findings are as follows: (1) Mu-Sin metal types are copper movable types which Kim Jwamyeong started recasting from Gap-In movable metal types in the Sueo-Cheong in 1668(9th year of Hyeon-Jong's reign) and completed in July 1668 (9th year of Hyeon-Jong's reign). (2) Mu-Sin metal types consist of 66,100 types of large size and 46,600 types of small size, and were transferred from the Sueo-Cheong to the Gyoseo-Gwan in October 1672 (13th year of Hyeon-Jong's reign). (3) The method of sand casting was used to restore Mu-Sin metal types. For this experiment, used were compound metals (110 %) which consist of copper (80%), tin (15%) and lead (15%). The height of those types is about 0.8cm, their backs are the shape of an upside-down ‘U’, and the connections between the faces of types and bridges were experimented with both the one piece and two piece casting method.

본 연구는 四鑄甲寅字인 戊申字의 鑄造術 復元을 위한 實驗的 考察로 그 주요 內容은 다음과 같다. (1) 戊申字는 金佐明에 의해 守禦廳에서 顯宗 9(1668, 무신)년 봄부터 甲寅字를 改鑄 하기 始作하여 同王 9(1668)년 8월에 완성된 銅活字이다. (2) 鑄成된 戊申字는 大字 66,100餘字와 小字 46,600餘字였으며, 顯宗 13(1672)년 10월 에 守禦廳에서 校書館으로 移管되었다. (3) 戊申字의 鑄造術 復元을 위한 鑄造法은 鑄物砂鑄造法을 活用하였다. 金屬材料는 銅(80%)․朱錫(15%)․鑞(15%)의 110% 實驗用 母合金을 사용하였다. 活字의 字 高는 0.8㎝ 정도로, 활자의 背面은 逆‘U’形으로, 字面과 字脚의 連結法은 一體形과 分離形으로 實驗하였다.
