Nice early pics of Linotypes posted on Flickr recently.

Caption says:

QuoteThis photograph shows the Linotype machines in the Composing Room of the Lewis Publishing Company in the Woman's Magazine Building. The photograph appeared in "The Papers of the People," a booklet promoting the Lewis Publishing Company, published in 1906.




Looks like some kind of canvas "flap" covering the distributor mechanism on the nearest machine!
