The Printing House Museum Photos are spread over two pages:
Page 1

The photographs on the following pages were all taken at The Printing House Museum, Cockermouth, Cumbria. I can thoroughly recommend the museum to anyone visiting that part of Britain.



The Linotype keyboard

The linotype keyboard. Spacebar to the left, then lower case, numbers, etc. are in the blue section and caps on the right. There is an expanding spaceband on the tray above. The blue section also contained the now little-used ligatures (fi, fl, ff, ffi, ffl).
