Shot taken at the Melbourne Museum of Printing (www.printingmuseums.com). It’s an amazing facility and these shots are just a fraction of the stuff they have.

Detail shot of the type setting area of the Linotype 78 machine. The matrices (molds which type is cast from) are put into here before being lifted into the elevators which take the type up to where the hot metal is poured into, and then trimmed.

The type is cool enough to handle within 20-30 seconds.
