The Czech Linotype Experiment—The Zetotype

[Maarten Renckens]

I was able to check out the last remaining Zetotype, a Czech approach to produce a linecaster, in the archives of the National Technology Museum of Prague. I wrote down the details here: https://linotype.wiki/pages/linotype_models_czech_productions.php.

All other references to similar experiments are more than welcome!

Thanks for that Maarten, very interesting.

I had never heard of these machines, but  I suppose I could blame the Cold War for that!

And, I suppose, with only two prototypes being made, they were extremely rare.

The logo at the top of the machine looked great.
