Linotype Delta in Hachtel - video

[Dave Hughes]

Here's a great video (with German audio, but an English transcript) of Horst Wagner a guide at the Ottmar Mergenthaler birthplace museum in Germany operating a couple of Linotypes.

You may remember we have seen Horst before when @realdougwilson paid a visit to Germany to research his book Re: Linotype: The Book.



The first machine he operates seems quite an early one, which they state was around during Ottmar's lifetime.

The second machine he operates is a German new-line machine namely a Delta.
