now try to explain to your teenager that right after agriculture this technology enabled today's comfortable live from caveman to 24/7 iPhone user, if you can get their attention!

Cool

hello i plan to build the machine to scale do you know where i can find some drawings if only of the boiler thanks in advance

Saudades... gostava muito dessa profissão.

The shit I get in my recommended man I swear to god.

Thats a great demonstration.

Quelle belle machine un creuset des matrices des excentriques et une fiabilité à toutes épreuve

Tipometro, linotipo, componedor, cajas, galeras, cortadora. Rol de pruebas, formación de planas, y más cosas que viví.

Thank you for showing us all on RUclips a part of history that will never be repeated again. Real nice stuff shown too.

aw

Pretty pathetic explanation. How does the pistons move backwards and forwards?

Were are you how do I join a tour or get on the land to have a swing. Davi b from Brisbane

How far north of Kalgoorie, would you travel and what's name of the area you are prospecting?

Sadly this club appears to have closed its doors for good. I wonder what happened to the exhibits.

Help we have a Rushdon Protector steam engine which if not the same is very similar to yours. Its works No is 27434. It is almost complete and in a very restorable condition. We are struggling to find any technical detail on her. Can you point us in the right direction

This is a wonderful piece of documentary spoilt only by being photographed with a hand held phone. An SLR camera on a tripod with a good mike would have made it truly superb.

Learned typesetting on one of these in the 60s when I went to Mergenthaler Voc. Tech. High School. Stayed in the printing industry for 40 years after that.

Great antique cast iron portable steam engine set of four wheels. Made by Ruston Proctor and Co, Lincoln, England circa 1850s. Great collector's item for train enthusiasts. Will make a great addition to your collection. It would be easy to restore. WEIGHT: Heavy at 500 Kg (all four) Price: best offer. I will accept cash only and will help you load them. No shipping. Located in Saratov, Russia.

Tis wel goud mejong

This is brilliant stuff. Thank you for taking the time to explain the process. I remember I used to be a paper delivery boy and used to go into the linotype room and watch the lead bars melting. It was a most incredible design and engineering feat - along with the very fast printing press. There are some very very clever people out there who design and build these things.

The sound isn't good. The machines make a lot of 'music' type sounds that you really can't hear on this.

'Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.' A good typing practice.

What's with the funny looking gay hat thing?

Many years ago I used to produce those lead Linotype ingots. After the type was used it was remelted and any lost metals replaced. Primarily its Lead with a percentage of Tin and Antimony depending on the required hardness or viscosity. Older machines were 'Monotype which produced single letter at a time which a compositor put together. Eventually the process moved on to 'stereotype. which produced a whole page and which most major Newspaper used. As the man said though, they were all eventually changed over to plastics and then to computers. A shame in some ways but that progress. The company I worked for no longer exists - Edmar Printing Metals. Lifting all those heavy ingots did build my muscles though...LOL

as a kid id volunteer to sweep the lead up off the floor of a small shop ran by a family friend just to be able to hang around n watch the presses n process

I worked a Linotype during my five-year apprenticeship at the Bridlington Chronicle in Yorkshire, England, between 1952 and 1954. After that I was a Lino op. until Apple Macs took over the newspaper industry in the 80s.

This Linotype tech make me think of the Paige Compositor en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paige_Compositor , patents 157694, 547859 that Mark Twain lost so much money on trying to get it to work / bring it to market.

There's another Mk.VII Lincolnshire, the only one in the UK that runs under her own power

My dad passed away n I was looking at the scrapbook. It says, he was a linotype operator n I didn't know what that was. Thanks n very interesting!

Amazing Paddy found gold 12 yrs later a city...

If you visit a museum/exhibit like this, ask if you can buy a slug with your name or some other text you want. I did that. I can ink it and "stamp" my name on cards and letters for a unique little personal touch. You can tell the computer people and the printing people share a lot of mental ingenuity. The way these machines automatically sort the returning matrices back into the magazine would make any computer guy proud. Hint, each matrix has its letter designation encoded in the teeth at the top from which it hangs as it travels along the sorting rail. When it gets to the row of the magazine to which it belongs, it will find those particular teeth missing from the guide rail, and like magic it then falls off into its proper place. It's quite the marvelous bit of mechanical engineering. So were the Strowger switches that automated the first dial telephone calls, but that is another story...

4-color stripping was my job.

I think it's great to preserve the knowlege of the old ways of doing things because some day we might have to return to them. How can they keep this machine running when parts wear out and I doubt they are still selling replacement parts? Also, why isn't that guy concerned about lead poisoning?

are the no boiler smiths down under than that it had to be sent to England

Babamı hatırladım 😥

I worked on the forth floor of the Philadelphia Inquirer in the mod 1960's. Imagine fifty or sixty of these things running all out when the "Bulldog" edition of the paper was running. I ran a proof press. When the Linotype operators finished an assignment, they would toss us the Gally and we would run off a number of proofs before sending the gally to the composition floor and a copy to the proof. Another benefit of the job was that I was making rockets at the time and found that under the plate grinders was an endless supply of powdered zinc

Nice.

my dad was a linotype operator for over 40 years, mostly at "the dayton daily news"(ohio). he was so proud of being a linotype operator and it kind of makes me sad that there are now tons of people that don't even know what a linotype is and it was a very important machine. over the years, he'd found quite a few books on the subject-especially books about "tramp printers"-printers who traveled from city to city, working for that city's newspaper, or any local magazine publisher. many of them traveled the world and were colorful characters, to say the least! lol my dad even met a couple of the travelers, over the years. i didn't mean to babble on about this, but i rarely get to talk about this subject, that i love.

gold fever is very real lol, I hit the red button you can return the favour if you like. us small channels know the drill ; )

I ran one when I was in Trade School - 1975 to 1977. We even melted out own pigs of lead. Cant do that today.. LOL Great memories... Thank you..

Was a Linotype/Intertype Operator for many years. Had many splashes of hot metal in my days as well. Brings back many good and not so good memories. Thanks for sharing.

They even had linotypes that had plastic extrusion type fonts but in 1978 Steve Jobs and Wozniack came out with The Macintosh and LinoTypes where History

Back in 1978 I went out to LA Hollywood and had this idea to take a portable linotype with candy minted typecase and create a comedy routine and take it onstage. It didn't plan out because most of these machines weighed 1 ton. I couldn't find one lighter than 1400 lbs. Hey Andy Kaufman had his record player and Mighty Mouse....

I know this machines very well, to operate and to repair!

This was very interesting as I'm attempting to write a book that has a linotype printer in it. The dates and how it works have been very useful. thanks.

you could have slowed down the speed of your lecture !! otherwise nice stuff for a basic one !!!

Was a Linotype Machinist for many years. First venture was in Marinette, Wi. highschool printing class. Model 8 Linotype machine. After 4 yrs U.S.N.(1995-1998) I returned Milwaukee Vocational Tech School that had an excellent instructor, Mr. Schnider . Many type shops in Milwaukee, Racine, Oshkosh, Marinette, Madison etc. area that kept me busy. 1970 the State of Wisconsin created a service of their own. Wisconsin Composition, “WISCOMP”. The state of Wis. hired me to organize the system. I had no training whatsoever with computers, photo typesetters, film developer, scanners, and the list goes on! All my exposure about typesetting was “hot-metal composition.” gochipmunk.com/html/contents.html
