[GreenKeys] Linotype slugs inside a Model 20

[dmm at lemur.com]

I just took a closer look at the Model 20 RO that closes in a few 
hours on ebay, item 120545179567 (which is, alas, much too far away
from me to even consider).

If you look at the second photograph, you can see about 15 Linotype
slugs sitting inside the machine (where they keyboard would have been
had this RO unit been a KSR).  I might guess that they were used as
shims (Linotype slugs make fine shims), but one is cast on a deep
display mold and is much less shim-like.  

Whoever does get this machine will be getting a bit of its newspaper
history, quite literally.

Regards,
David M.
