This has sat in front of this antique shop that was the Exon Mercantile store in Doloras Colorado for a while now. Few people will recognized that this machine made newpapers and democracy possible. Some of us wonder if we can every really replace what it did for America. It has more meaning and purpose than many monuments.

My great uncle worked as a linotype operator for the Vancouver sun in the 60s and 70s. I really like your model. I am writing an academic paper, and would like to cite your work. Can I use a screen grab (obviously I will provide full acknowledgment).
absolutely amazing ! wow
@toeppen great! :-) just let me know :-)
@miguelbandera we could arrange something. I should run the model again as I can process it better now.
Hi! Quite interesting model! it would be possible to create a model with your dataset? In exchange if you want i can give you one of my datasets . Thanks!
Not so very long ago, really! To think that this was a typical way to print a page just a few decades ago. The technology of that time has been miniaturized to fit on a chip. Amazing!
Thanks for the info on the linotype. Machined castings were just the right technology for high speed typesetting. Graphics had to be set in the same plate. Flexible rubber printing plates were sensitive to light and letters were projected from CRTs and that made linotypes obsolete. Technical evolution leads us to this look into our rearview mirror.
This is a Model 5 Linotype, manufactured c. 1907.
