I love this machine. Last time I saw one actually running was like late 90's (and by that time it was very rare to see one). Brings back memories. We're still running some Chandler & Price and Heidelberg Windmills.
Thanks for the video...my parents owned a small weekly newspaper in Northern Alberta, Canada from 1959-1970 and operated a lynotype til 1965 when the paper went offset...to think of all the hours my mother spent banging out hot lead on that machine...such a terribly complicated and fascinating machine...I never failed to marvel at that machine!!! Putting out a newspaper is so much easier and less expensive than before...sadly the 2 lynotypes were destroyed in a fire...Brock..Vancouver, Canada
We are including this video in an exhibition at Lawrence University Wriston Art Center Galleries 10/29-11/23/2010
