Linotype had close to 100 keys.
Never saw a Monoblock.
The first week I started at the newspaper in 1987, I was assigned to help a contractor convert the saddles on the last press unit from lead plates to polymer coated aluminum printing plates. It was a keyed letterpress type printing press. The lead plates were around 1/2" thick. This company machined steel saddles that were the thickness of the lead plates minus the thickness of the aluminum plates. They had spring loaded lockups to hold the new plates. We'd set a saddle template on the press, lock it up like a lead plate, then use a mag drill to drill a bunch of mounting holes to hold the new saddles in place. Then remove the template, tap the holes, and then install the new steel saddles. It was the first time I'd ever seen a printing press, a mag drill, and a tap. It took two weeks to convert that last unit. We had to work while the press was running, so there were paper webs sailing over us for hours at a time. Maybe a foot or two above your head. And it was LOUD in there.
I loved it! Best job I ever had. Lasted 30 years. Still miss it, but life goes on.
