Trip to the Museum of Printing in Haverhill today. A non-casting Ludlow Day -- got some Radiant, Cameo, Florentine and Karnak matrices, and a pig feeder for the crucible.

Another Ludlow Day, but this one is only as hot as the room. I've finally managed to ID and organize all the cases somewhat logically; now comes consolidation of cases between cabinets and distributing boxed matrices.

Was too busy to get more pics of the Hoamsy Lino class this morning, but it was, at long last, Ludlow Day. Nothing serious, being silly mostly, but wanted to refresh my memory and exercise the machine.

Piggy pig-pigs for the Ludlow obtained today from the good old Museum of Printing in Haverhill.

No time to print today, but I'm FINALLY setting up the major use case for the Ludlow: 4-up BCs with wibbly type in 2 colors, because slugged type ain't wibbly and afterward these can go sit on a galley until the next batch without keeping loose type tied up.
