July 3, 1886
On July 3, 1886, seated at the keyboard of his new machine, Ottmar Mergenthaler handed to Whitelaw Reid a slug of metal. Reid exclaimed, "It's a line-of-type!" Thus was christened the forerunner of today's modern linecasting machine: the Linotype.
Illustration produced for the 75th Anniversary, April 1961.
