Linotype: The Tactics of Tapesetting

Created by Mergenthaler to show off the newest typesetting, film and computer machines to the American Newspaper Publishers Association. This film was created at a time when all newspapers knew film and computer technology were the future, but they were not yet convinced in which technology to invest. It features the Elektron, tape-perforating keyboard center, Linofilm Quick, and other early-computer machines. Many newspaper men in suits, thick glasses, and skinny black ties. Year: 1967
