Thanks, that was interesting and puts a different light on things.

Back in the late ‘60s I ran a typesetting shop and when I upgraded my 1905 Linotype to a 1940s model, the seller took my old machine and said he would ship it to Mexico. Even with the advent of cold type (photo) I half expect that solidly-built old No. 5 to be cranking away somewhere in the interior.
