I used to work with a linotype. That was in the late '70s early '80s and bit more modern than the one in the video. Good memories ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

My Dad was a lifetime member of the International Typographical Union, and worked at several newspapers. I remember seeing several of those in operation at a couple of the papers where he worked. Lots of moving parts in those dinosaurs, but very cool.

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. |
