This is what might be called the\u00a0\u201cbase model\u201d in the German Linotype\u00a0\u201cNew Line\u201d range of machines and is a four-magazine manually-operated non-mixer which could be compared to the English Model 78 or the American Model 31.<\/p>\n

In its basic form it was fitted with mould equipment for casting from 6pt to 12pt, though alternative equipment could be substituted and the standard knife block could in any case trim slugs up to 42pt. Casts lines up to 28 Cicero (equivalent to 30ems). Weight: 1730kg.<\/p>\n

Extras which could be added to the basic machine included a water-cooled mould wheel (\u201ca Linotype patent for the last 20 years, the guarantee for casting quality\u201d); Lino Hydraquadder; Lino Mohr saw; and capability to cast up to 34 Cicero (the equivalent of 36ems).<\/p>\n

The machine illustrated is fitted with the hydraquadder (controlled from the right-hand side of the keyboard) and Mohr saw and is the only model in the range to have the normal dual handles to elevate the assembled line of matrices and spacebands\u00a0en route<\/i>\u00a0to the first elevator prior to casting (other models have push-button control, whilst the Universa has a simplified manual lifter).<\/p>\n

A good common-sense basic machine capable of casting at eight lines per minute or could be souped-up to 11 lines per minute at extra cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
