I just love this Instagram project by DWRI Letterpress of Providence, Rhode Island, USA. They are putting out a news item, set on a Linotype, sometimes with headlines from a Ludlow every day for a year. So, pretty much what these machines were invented to do, but on Instagram. Genius!

"Crusade for personal power and riches" sure sounds familiar... (and breaking news sometimes means you can cast the slug, but it STILL doesn't get in to the press in time... scroll to last pic) #impeachment #linotype #letterpress #deadlines #iran #brexit #un #democrats #4pm Cast in 8pt Cairo Light and Bold

I particularly like the clean sharp printed results.
The operator would do well to give the keyboard a dusting and pick up the mats scattered on the cover tray for the keyboard, but then I'm a mechanic not an operator
They could also use a proof reader I believe inwhich should be in which.
