• Ludlow - picture with top down.

• Monotype keyboard - air operated - wide paper tape with holes - caster setting type - etc. be great if an explanation on how or why the air, selection process of characters, justification and tabbing function etc. Pictures of type in galleys would be great.

Democrat Publishing in Madison WI had a room full of this equpt.
Great for tabular material.
