While there, I had an opportunity to cast my own type and I was hooked. These machines went out of popular use decades ago, so obviously, this is not the sort of stuff you can just go out and pick up.<p class="paragraph"/> After several months of fruitless search, I got a lead. This past weekend, I travelled to California to take a look at some Monotype casters that were recently made available. I got there, and after an educational afternoon with Harold Berliner and Hans-Ulrich Frey, I was the proud owner of 2 British Monotype Composition Casters. As soon as I get some photos of my new babies, I'll be posting those. How, I just need to get them from California to my shop!<p class="paragraph"/> for more info, check out <a href="/space/letterpress/monotype adventures">monotype adventures</a>.Fins 0.9.7http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rssletterpress
