  Intertype slugs cast from matrices of our printshop typefaces for the Intertype Linecasting Machine
• These represent the majority of matrices we now hold.

• This machine was made by Harris Intertype Limited, Slough, Bucks
  and used by The Guardian Newspaper. This typesetting machine was not only
  the last one built by Harris Intertype in 1976; it was the last of its kind ever made.
  It was installed at the Intertype Line headquarters of The Guardian newspapers
  on Farringdon Road in June 1976 and used until The Guardian transferred
  to different machinery in May 1987.
