Today's "Linotype Machine in the news" is a short little remembrance by columnist Tom Garrett of the Payson Roundup in Arizona entitled: "It's amazing how much easier it is to print a newspaper today." Tom describes a sense of wonder when he first encountered a Lintoype Machine while a student working at his local newspaper. He does a good job capturing the sights, sounds and ambience of the press room back in the late 1940s. Picture above is not from the article.
