\"Mohr<\/a><\/p>\n

THE Mohr Lino-Saw automatically cuts slugs to required measure before they are delivered to the galley.<\/p>\n

Eliminating liner changes, this is invaluable for composition requiring frequent changes in measure since it also controls vise jaw and assembler slide settings with a single operation.<\/p>\n

\"Six<\/a>
THE Six-Mold Disk minimizes mold and liner changes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Its exclusive one-piece design provides unequalled rigidity, durability and accurate alignment and gives 50 per cent added mold capacity.<\/p>\n

\"Hydraquadder<\/a><\/p>\n

WHEN the Hydraquadder is controlled by push-button operation, the operator selects the desired function by pressing one of four buttons at the right of the keyboard; the hydraquadder does the rest.<\/p>\n

For tape operation the hydraquadder’s electric control system is plugged into the tape operating unit, and the Hydraquadder then responds automatically to coded signals on the tape.<\/p>\n

\"Belt<\/a>
LINOTYPE’S V-Belt Motor Drive combines latest design with rugged construction to provide vibration-free and noiseless transmission of power.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Knife<\/a>
QUICK-OPENING Knife Block speeds up advertising and food-store composition by opening instantaneously to allow overhang display slugs to pass from the knife block to the galley. The knife re-sets to pre-set trim at the flip of a lever.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Comet<\/a>
NEW Comet Pot has Linotronic controls. Its greater sesitivity gives more positive metal temperature control, better accessibility and requires less maintenance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
