Just in case you were not aware, @mwichary has put up over 800 (!) scans of various keyboard, typewriter, typesetting, word processing, and digital type reference materials online and there are some *REAL GEMS* in there that have so few views: https://archive.org/details/wicharytypewriter

Here are my four favorite Linotype (obviously) scans: 1. Charles Darwin for the “revolutionary” (get it?!) Linoterm: https://archive.org/details/linoterm-brochure/mode/2up 2. The slightly-sexist “Turn your typist into a typesetter” advert: https://archive.org/details/linotype-as-easy-as-1-2-3 3. The line drawings on this one from the German Linotype company: https://archive.org/details/linotype-systems-brochure/mode/2up 4. The harsh green and vibe of this 1960s Linofilm Perforator ad: https://archive.org/details/mergenthaler-linoquick-perforator/mode/2up
