Unusual Machine - Intertype?

[Dave Hughes]

I spotted this video recently that had been posted by the InfoZone Museum, Pueblo County, Colorado, USA.

According to Wikipedia:

The main branch also hosts the InfoZone News Museum which features vintage equipment from The Pueblo Chieftain, a history of newspapers, art exhibits and films.

I have never seen a side magazine arrangement quite like this one. Very narrow magazine, keyboard on the vertical plane and much higher than the main keyboard. The machine also doesn't appear to have a step at the back:



Anyone seen one like this before?

Coincidences, I logged onto Facebook and someone had posted this photo.

Thanks George. As I said, a machine I never encountered.

As an aside, I notice they've left out the ingot-hanging equipment on the brochure illustration!
