Linotype Machine Resouces * Linotype Machines in the News

Linotype in the news October 24th, 2023

October 24, 2023

Today's "Linotype Machine in the news" appears to be a repost from a year or so ago entitled: Machine that 'revolutionised' printing brought back to life. It's a short article and video of what looks like a very nicely refurbished Model 8 located at the Armarie Room at Nelson's Founders Park in New Zealand. The machine is a real smooth runner, but the plunger is not in place in this video, so who knows if it's a real good caster. Most likely our man Colin was put on the spot by the video crew and decided that he didn't want things to get too exciting so pulled the plunger as a precautionary measure. Just my theory, because I've been there, done that. Anyway, this is a nice glimpse at a what appears to be a well cared for machine. Published on a website called "Stuff." Article written by Katy Jones.
