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.

My freshman year was '73 at RIT, I was in that lab with Emory Schneider.

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!!
