Формула / Пробел, Металлический набор, Подключка
Примеры формул со знаком интеграла из книги 41. Москва, 1929. Натуральный размер
В формульном выражении буквы и цифры участвуют наравне с их пространственной организацией.
Поднятые (оттиснутые) пробелы вполне могут символизировать эту особенность,
хотя в данном случае имелось в виду лишь наглядно продемонстрировать технические приемы набора.
Как видим, в металле это требовало ювелирной техники. Намного ли проще набирать формулы сейчас?

В виде форточек
даны блочки надписей
к иллюстрациям,
сопровождающим заметку.
Стало быть, тут -
типографический прием,
не выполняющий привычной
рубрикационной функции.
Возможно, именно поэтому
форточки разбросаны
по обоим краям колонки
и перекошены.
