Old model 2 Linotype

[Mechanic]

This is a couple of photos of the Model 2 Linotype from the files of The Univerisity of Washington http://tinyurl.com/3qns753

The first photo was taken in 1904 the second in 1906. The caption is from the first photo, but as all the important data, except for the date, applies to both I've only used the first caption

http://www.linotype.org/Misc/models.html tells us:-

The Model 2 was the first two-magazine machine.
It was not as successful as some of the other models, chiefly because its double magazine mechanism was complicated. Many of the Model 2's had the lower magazine out of use entirely or it was used only rarely for headlines, etc., and not for straight composition.
