I've added a new page to the main Metal Type site with over 25 photographs taken at the Rochester Times-Union and Rochester Democrat and Chronicle newspapers in New York State.

They were sent in by Bill Westland, and were mainly taken in the composing areas in the 1960s and 1970s. Plenty of Linotype operators and machines.

Comments are open on the page, so if you can put some names to the faces post and let us know.

They can be see here: Rochester, NY Newspapers
