    Default After 10+ years of hand setting type...

    I just found an old gentleman running a working Linotype not 20 minutes from my house! Thank you modern technology for speeding my productivity!!!
    Oh no, look what I did.

    I'll get some pics next time I'm there. There's never been a more amazing piece of machinery than a Linotype. It is exciting to find one still operating.

    I bet he loves that Burgess Meredith episode of the Twilight Zone (the linotype one, not "Time Enough at Last").
