Printing Films (2026) : 1x7

Promotional film for the Mergenthaler Diagrammer which helped automate technical drawings for schematics, electrical diagrams and drafting. With a “James Bond” style introduction, this amazingly complex machine seems more exciting than you would think. There is a great little sequence showing the 1886 Blower Linotype (before its restoration and acquisition by the Smithsonian Institution) and the Elektron. It also gives a quick overview of typing for tape perforation. Year: 1970
