The International Typesetting Machine Company started around 1912 with the production of the Intertype, a machine resembling the Linotype but with many improvements. During the years, they built several models. An overview is found below. If a certain model was extended with additional side magazines, then the letters s.-m. (side-magazine) were added to the model number.
Model A was a machine with one magazine and one distributor.
Model B is a machine identical to model A, but had two magazines.
Model C is a machine identical to model A, but had three magazines.
This machine is an extension of model C and has four magazines with 90 channels.
The specification 'streamlined' points out that all the moving parts are shielded, and that additional technical improvements were made.
Model D is a machine identical to model C, but is constructed in such a way that longer lines could be cast (The Dutch Literature mentions 'longer than 28 augustijn').
Model E has two main magazines and a double distributor.
Model F is an improvement of model E, replacing model E. It is lower in height.
This machine is an extension of model F and has four magazines. It is comparable to the American Linotype model 29.
The specification 'streamlined' points out that all the moving parts are shielded, and that additional technical improvements were made.
Model G is identical to model F, except that one magazine has 72 channels suited for larger type sizes.
This machine is an extension of model G which has four magazines with 90 or 72 channels. A lamp shines when there are matrices in the distribution, warning the operator that the magazines cannot be changed yet.
The specification 'streamlined' points out that all the moving parts are shielded, and that additional technical improvements were made.
This model is intended for the advertising industry due to its 72 channel magazines. It has one distributor and three magazines.
This machine is an extension of model F and has four magazines with 72 channels.
