'Monotype' Composition Caster Manual Vol. 1 & 2 Print Type Making Machine Book*

Seller's description:

The 'Monotype' Composition Caster Manual Vol. 1 & 2 is a comprehensive instructional guide for creating letterpress type using a Monotype Composition casting machine. These manuals presented in a ring bound book format, focuses on lettering type production. It covers everything needed to operate and maintain your machine with detailed instructions on how to create high-quality letters and matrices using the Monotype system. This manual is a valuable resource for designers and printers looking to expand their skills in traditional type production techniques.
They include comprehensive instructions and exploded machine diagrams so the machine operator can maintain their machine without the need of a service engineer visit.
These have been used by me personally so there are usage marks on pages and the plastic covers are slit open showing the card inserts, this can be seen in the pictures.
If more pictures are required please ask before bidding.
