The Linotype turns 125.
Such an awesomely steampunky device! Both incredibly advanced and hopelessly primitive at the same time.

I used to operate one of those many years ago, and a couple of letterpress printing presses; second job after leaving school. It may have been the best job I ever had!

Very nifty video. I felt like a child watching PBS all over again. Granted, Seasame Street usually went to kid-friendly places like the Crayola crayon factory to show how those got made, but the principle is the same.

Wow! Nifty video! Made me think of all those long hours I spent in front of the key punch machine making those cards for Computer Science 101!
