I need some assistance on determining the correct way to cast on my Linotype using border slides. I do not have a quadder. I tried casting with the knife block...
... Warren, it may not be the correct way, but I just set the measure 2.5 points longer than my favorite 30-pica slide block. Another slide block works with...
John did you ever find these magazine shoes? I don't know what they are, and I did a quick search in the parts book but couldn't find any. Do you have a part...
I am interested in this subject because I hope to cast some one of these days. One thing that puzzles me is that some of the slide blocks have a protrusion on...
Stan: Â Look in the Intertype red parts book, page 222. The part numbers are T-6144 thru 6129 for Visilite magazines and T-3765 thru 3770 for conventional...
Border slide blocks: Â There are both Intertype and Linotype blocks.Those from Intertype have a projection descending 1/2" below the body of the block. Some...
Dear John: Well, I went over to the shop, looked up those parts, then turned to the Intertype book to see how they worked. I learned that these are part of...
Stan,  I believe all mats had the FONT NOTCH for their particular size, but NOT ALL MATS had the MIXER NOTCHES. These were only needed on mixer machines...
Thanks, Dave. I learn something every day. Now if I could just remember it all. :} Do you remember if the manual font distinguisher on my C4 is opeable? It...

Hi all, I've got an Intertype Model C that's behaving a little strangely and I wonder if anyone cares to give me a few tips as to what to look for when I head...
Andy: Â In reading your description I cannot readily tell if when you say "chopped off" you mean trimmed off by the knife or chopped off as though it was not...
Sorry, let me be more clear. I'll try to get a picture later. The slugs are well formed, square, and the correct dimensions. When I say that the tops of the...

Yep. Looks good. I'm pretty well convinced that it's not a problem with trimming or ejecting as the line of type is physically not straight on the slug. And...
Have you used the vise adjusting knob to set the jaw opening correctly? Once I failed to do this, and it resulted in some of the characters not being cast,...
First, thanks to everybody that replied with help, both on- and off- list. I've gotten a lot of good information to chew on. Second, an update. I didn't have a...
My guess is the first elevator is not properly aligned vertically...i.e. is is going in at a slight slant. Ed ... Sorry, let me be more clear. I'll try to get...

You can go to www.donblack.ca and search his linotype mat database by name/code/point size, etc. It's not absolutely complete but nevertheless very extensive. ...
Well, it only took a year and some odd months to get it going, but my Intertype (a C4-4) is running--well sort of. Now I've had it turn over and run mats, but...
Anything is possible but I think it's more likely the distributor is too high. It's pretty easy to adjust the distributor up/down/left/right. Just pull it back...
Michael:  Have searched in my 1964 red parts book for the items you mentioned. Can find no listing for a U-186 (pg 571) and W-271 would be any screw of...
The machine was built in 1952 and the parts references were from the 1948 (brown) parts book (page 62). Alas, the pump safety lever was redesigned after 1950...
