Some interesting photos posted on Instagram. Unfortunately the accompanying text is in German. The first machine appears to be a Ludlow strip-caster. I've never seen one before, all the ones I encountered were Elrods.

Also a couple of stereo plate casters perhaps ??? and a modern Linotype.

Dave, that is an Elrod.  Ludlow took over manufacturing of the Elrod in 1920.
