You might be old school if you ever ran a punched tape Linotype machine,,,,or if you even know what a Linotype machine is.
Well, I guess I’m there.
High school print shop , using a Linotype in 1954.
1966 punching tape with a Friden Flexowriter
You might be old school if you ever ran a punched tape Linotype machine,,,,or if you even know what a Linotype machine is.
In my high school we had a print shop with Linotype machines (which I never ran). But I did run the
platen presses. Remember quoins and quoin keys?
Well, if you find the angle at 0,0 in the right triangle (1.0 long, .375 high) then you should have the three sides of the oblique triangle (hyp of earlier tri, [.625/2]+ .625, .625) and so you can get the angle of it at the 0,0 point added to the first tri totaled will give you the angle which with the side ([.625/2]+ .625) you can derive the length of the side in X.
Maybe..
I could lay it out in qcad or define the geometry in apt360, or do the math but I don't know where I left my log tables (logarithm table).
My calculations tell me the "location" is:
zero -.50" in the "X" direction and,
zero +.75" in the "Y" direction
Correct?
