For those of you that are familiar with the John Jarrold Printing Museum in Norwich, the C.C Stern is set up in a similar way: it’s a working museum, staffed by volunteers all passionate about keeping the machines going and passing on their knowledge. Their focus however is on metal type and casting equipment – when I visited them I was lucky enough to see Joe & Jeff using their Monotype ‘Orphan Annie’ Sorts Caster to cast using molten lead which I have never seen before!
