Worked as an apprentice in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire during the early 70's. Monarchs, Linotypes, Monotypes and Ludlow's. Spent most afternoon's stripping blocks, still got the blisters. Used squeezy bottles full of petrol to put back any pies - know what I mean (all good healthy stuff). I am now a Digital Pre-Press Manager at a small printing works in LUDLOW using Apple Mac's and PCs - shame really.

My question is - how did the name LUDLOW get chosen for the headline typecaster. I know it’s not a Linotype machine but hope your site can help.

Good site, found it via "All The Web' search engine.

Regards, Ian
