I've seen two in real life--one in a museum in Palo Alto, and another in a museum in Philomath, Oregon. Haven't ever seen one operate, though.



I've seen an actual Linotype still in use in Saint Léonard de Noblat. It's in a printing shop in activity since the late 15th century. They're also making their own paper, and still use a movable type printing press. A very interesting place to visit.


There's one in regular operation - and you can get your hands on it, too - at the Baltimore Museum of Industry.
