These are in addition to their Smith Premiere typewriter with a LInotype keyboard that I tweeted yesterday.https://twitter.com/WideSpacer/status/929440184583774208 …
Wide Spacer added,
Also not in that wall of typewriters was this unusual flatbed typewriter.pic.twitter.com/cX8PIXpdvB
One of the most unusual (looking) typewriters in the display wall was this Oliver Standard Visible Writer #3, with the typebar arms as arcs sticking out of the top.pic.twitter.com/iokeAtbPbT
I went there to the @MOPrinting primarily to look at their phototypesetters and Linotype equipment, but ironically didn't get an overall picture of their older Linotype, just some details.pic.twitter.com/Z7WHb8tkNh
They have a much more modern Linotype there, an Elektron, "the fastest line casting machine in the world".pic.twitter.com/OEGKqvseZF
And this odd beast that I hadn't realized existed. The Intertype Fotosetter. One of the early phototypesetters, they simply modified their linecaster to embed film in the matrix bodies.pic.twitter.com/ebhFjBbEXp
(An egregious use of the word "simply" if there ever was one.)
Most phototypesetters put the film into strips or discs.
The @MOPrinting has the largest collection of phototypesetting equipment in the world.pic.twitter.com/r7DeNAcnyZ
Including this phototypesetter which read typesetting instructions from perforated tape...pic.twitter.com/D3pbyIr7ff
...and this very similar machine, a teletypesetter perforator, which created the punched tape of typesetting instructions. Note the spacebar specifically labelled as "justified space". It seems odd since this version of the typesetter doesn't seem to include other spaces.pic.twitter.com/Uek48CBBZP
