I find it hard to believe that one man thought of all this and got all the 10,000 part of it working right, in a time before electronic computers where made, even better was the fact he fix a mechanical clock at thirteen years old and it all mechanical too. and it went around the world on top of that . I wish I could be as smart as he was .
Do you know anyone interested in buying a machine. I have a model 31. I believe it was built in the 1930's. I may be wrong. I have pictures if you would like to see. I am in St. Louis, MO.
I also worked one of these. My first year apprenticeship was the last year the newspapers used them. They used to cause quite a mess if the magazines were lifted off before locking them - matrix everywhere!
Wow!

Each Time An Original Invention Necessitates Serious Hellbox Risks, Don't Leave Unattended (this sentence was written for linotype geeks).

I grew up around Linotypes. I have run one. I never heard them called "printer"!

Thomas Edison after seeing the Linotype machine called it the 8th wonder of the world.
