This page collects random facts which are somehow interesting, but which do not (yet) fit into a story. They will be moved as soon as a better place is found.
The February 24 1894 issue of Le Génie Civil is probably the first time that the Linotype is introduced to a French audience. Taking into account that the Linotype Model 1, the first model with a star base, was introduced in 1892, Linotype did not waste any time in distributing its machines to other countries!
