The Monotype System

Today, we had a demonstration of the Monotype system. It was, without doubt, one of the most exciting and engaging machines I have ever seen, the others being at the Bhilai Steel Plant when I was about ten. As we see more of the resources at the department, one realizes what a privilege it is to be here and to be privy to these amazing things. Here are some pictures (and a few more on Flickr), and if you scroll right down a short video of the caster at work.
