Operating the Linotype at The Print Shop. Invented by Ottmar Mergenthaler in 1885, Thomas Edison referred to the Linotype as the “eighth wonder of the world.” Carillon Historical Park is home to the nation’s only fully operational 1930s letterpress job shop in a museum. Every Tuesday morning, our volunteer printers are hard at work creating cards, pads, stationary, and more for the Museum Store! #daytonhistory #carillonpark | Carillon Historical Park

When it comes to operating the Linotype machine, it was important to make sure the lines of type were justified and full. Space bands helped with this. In this video, Howard discusses the use of space bands and their importance. Want to learn more about the Model 8 Linotype? Check out: https://youtu.be/YAOOz_7_v9Q | Sacramento History Museum
