Printle: A Printing Word Game from Metal Type

Trumpton, along with Camberwick Green (which were both very similar) were a couple of my favourite childhood TV programmes in the 1960s.

I don't remember this episode though, which aimed to teach kids a little about letterpress printing.

I have a vague recollection of Mickey Mouse operating a Linotype machine, as well. Anyone seen that?
