\nEQUIPPED with either one, two or three magazines, the Model 8 is a popular machine for general composition.<\/p>\n

When originally equipped as a single-magazine machine it can be easily converted into a two- or three-magazine machine by the addition of the necessary parts.<\/p>\n

There is nothing to discard – only a screwdriver is needed to apply these parts in a few minutes. By turning a convenient handle at the right, any of the magazines may be brought into operating position instantly, without the operator leaving his seat.<\/p>\n

All magazines are independently removable from the front of the machine – an exclusive Linotype time-saving feature.<\/p>\n

Split magazines may be used in any or all three positions – another exclusive feature which increases the versatility of the machine. Also built as a display machine.<\/p>\n

Built for either 30 or 42 picas maximum measure.<\/p>\n
