The Berea College Press had a hot type machine up until about 1965, it was fascinating to watch. And the operator was close to deaf.
They also ran a very old Heidelberg letter press (which used the hot type), and it was a joy to listen to and watch. The press operator, Mr. Johnson, would fall asleep while it was running, but as soon as something made a funny sound, he was awake and paying attention. When Johnson took the press apart to clean it, he would put each bolt and each part back in the same place, even if they were interchangeable This all gave way of course to offset printing. 914 content: The linotype had all of the numbers including a 9, a 1, and a 4. |
