A Model 31 Linotype at the International Printing Museum, plus some other pics, kindly donated by Dr Leland Whitson.
At the International Printing Museum, we have been restoring a circa 1956 C-4 Intertype. As noted, this pix was taken the first day I was able to cast on the machine. The legend is a proof of the casting. The Linotype to my left is a model 32 which is also operational. I am thoroughly enjoying learning to operate these machines. I am doing pretty well with the keyboarding. I am also very good at producing jams but haven’t mastered the un-jamming techniques as yet.Some time ago, we got this vintage, 1954, Linotype Model 31 moved in at the Printing Museum and got it operational. As this pix was taken, I was literally casting the first lines of type on the machine which said: “This is the first casting of Times Roman 14 point on this Linotype Model 31 at the International Printing Museum, Carson, California by Dr. Leland Whitson, Trustee & Docent Director 10-1-04.”Baptist Mission Press circa 1975.Oxford Orphanage.
