Transcription

Going all the way back to “ancient” eras, before Linotype, printing we used Ludlow type. You may have seen before, something called California Case, this was where you had to create text by selecting each letter and placing them individually. It was very time consuming. Some became skilled with this, and could quickly pull the type and create text for printing. After Linotype, printing could be done much faster, and then Cold Type was even quicker! It changed everything.
