Hi,
Although there is a lot of work to do before the Linograph Model 1 is operational, the search for matrices has been started.  The machine came with 1 - ONE - matrix, and it is not possible to use standard Linotype/Intertype mats, so we are looking for genuine Linograph mats as shown to the left in the attached picture (compared to a standard size mat to the right).  The Linograph mats are shorter than standard, and the type is recessed deeper into the mats.

Linograph mats are probably way rarer then hen's teeth, but maybe somebody has a set???

Best regards,
