Frank Talks to Dave Seat, Linotype Repair Expert
Frank talks with Dave Seat, one of the few Linotype repair experts. Dave and a few of his peers keep these mechanical marvels running. The 1886 Linotype revolutionized typesetting and many museums are struggling to keep them running.

Frank, when I did join RIT as a member of the faculty in 1974, the School of Printing still had
12 of those fascinating Linotype machines. They are complex but are an amazing mechanical piece of machinery which revolutionized our beloved industry. Look forward to see yours at the museum.

I was an RIT student back in the 60's and I worked both on the school magazine and the neespaper by setting type on a Linotype machine. The day John Kennedy was killed I was setting type. BTW, I thought I died and went to heaven when the Linofilm machine came out. Great video Frank!!
