English: Up until the 1880s the process of preparing a text for printing with a printing press was slow and time-consuming. Prior to the introduction of line casting machines, such as the Linotype, types were assembled by hand. A machine of this sort was able to replace the work effort of approximately five to six hand cast typers.
Tags: Line casting machine/Linköping/Linotype/PrintingThe Linotype casting machine was invented by a German watchmaker turned mechanical engineer named Otto Mergenthaler. The first Linotype put into production at the New York Tribune in 1886. Mergenthalers invention then became rapidly spread and used in the newspaper printing process worldwide. The Linotype casting machine is a mechanical masterpiece and during the years little has changed in the general mechanical design of the Linotype. The machine heard in this recording bears great resemblance with the first Linotype machines manufactured in the 1890s. |
