1950s newspapers - casting pages for a rotary letterpress machine. The final pre-production process when the finished cast is then ready to be attached onto the drum of a printing press.
1950s newspapers - Linotype operator. The machine assembles matrices or moulds for each letter in a line of type which is then cast as a single piece, called a slug, of type metal in a process known as 'hot metal' typesetting. The process allowed much faster typesetting and page making than original hand composition in which operators place down one pre-cast metal letter at a time. The machine revolutionized publishing especially newspaper production, enabling a far smaller number of operators and faster working.
The press is printing local afternoon paper, the Los Angeles Mirror-News in the late 1950s. The paper was part of the Los Angeles Daily Times Group begun by the Chandler family which today is part of the Tribune Company of Chicago. The afternoon tabloid the Los Angeles Mirror began in 1948 and in 1954 was absorbed into the Daily News. The combined paper ceased production in 1962.
