Subject: Linotype Model 48 Author: David Evans [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 00:55:42 03/11/02 Mon In reply to: J.S. Feltham 's message, "Linotype 48" on 22:31:07 08/31/01 Fri Regarding the Model 48 Linotype machine, yes the model 48 was a British-built machine, made in Altrincham, near Manchester, England. Judging by the number, it was probably late 1950's. If you intend to run the machine, you will need to use matrices with the British strike depth. These are marked with a diamond shape between the point size and the fount reference number. I'll make further enquiries about the date. My e-mail address is: david.lock27@bushinternet.com Good Luck!
