Linotype Video
I thought this might be somewhat enlightening. I had the opportunity to mess a bit with the Intertype down at Tampa U. last year. This Linotype machine is quite similar in basic concept and design.
You will have to look quite hard to find a mechanical wonder quite the equal to a Linotype or Intertype linecaster. Jim briefly mentions Edison's perspective of the complexity of these machines.
Hope you enjoyed the video!

Great demonstration. Operator knows what he's doing! Claude Buerki, Linotype Operator in the Sixties of the past century.
