The #Intertype Corporation was formed in 1911 as the International Typesetting Machine Company. Drawing on the huge success of #Mergenthaler’s #Linotype, the firm looked to get into a growing profitable #linecasting business, as original patents were expiring. #printinghistory

In 1912 Hans Petersen & his brothers released an inexpensive #linecasting machine using the same principles of the #Linotype but with different construction called the #Linograph. It cost half as much as a Model 5 Linotype #TypeCasting #Intertype #VintageMachinery #PrintHistory
