Title

Linotype Monitor

Subject

A specialized linotype machine using tapes from TTS.

Description

The use of punched tape with linotype machines reduced the need for multiple linotype operators. Rather than multiple operators typing text into the keyboard at each linotype machine, the text was read into the machine using punched paper tape. This process could be monitored by one or two printers.
