Linotype Europa

Ralf Hermann sent in these pictures of a Linotype Europa, which was featured in the German publication, Linotype Post, Issue 65, dated March 1966.

The article said that this new model was based on the existing four-magazine mixing model 10a IV.

There is some speculation as to whether this model actually went into production or existed only as a designer’s concept.
