Listed below, by machine, is various letterpress and some bookbinding equipment held in Australian Printimg (and a few other) Museums. Much of this equipment is in working order, but some is in store, and some only held for spares. At the moment, only larger items are listed, and type, composing sticks, lead cutters, etc. are omitted. For contact information, see List of Museums. Please note that the list is not complete, some items have yet to be individually identified, some entries have yet to be confirmed by the particular Museum, and some museums may have been overlooked altogether. Details such as date of manufacture, etc., are slowly being added. If anyone comes across more equipment, please let David Bolton know. | |||
