The linotype machine was invented by Ottmar Mergenthaler, and he lived only a few blocks from MICA’s campus along with Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
This machine was revolutionary in it’s time for being able to quickly create a line of type instead of having to hand set every letter. It is an extremely complex and intriguing invention. If you live on the east coast, see if there’s a viewing near you (there will be one at RISD and MICA!) and check it out!
YEAH! Get the word out! This will be the 3rd showing in all of time! The movie was literally just finished!
