Sighting of an Intertype with full keyboard

The Intertype below was spotted at a local printing-museum.

This small enthousiast-run museum has a large collection of printing presses, from wooden and cast-iron 19th century affairs to fairly modern cylinder-presses. (And they're trying for a Cossar newspaper-press.) They've two Intertypes and in the background, with the mannequin, is an older Linotype machine. This Intertype machine in the museum is operational, like nearly all their equipment. It was demonstrated for us working 'cold'. That is, without the actual hot lead casting happening in the machine - it racks up an electricity bill when hot and probably also some health & safety concerns about hot lead and fumes. But also 'cold', the motions and the tinkling of the type (matrices) could be seen and heard!

Very unexpected keyboard - a full keyboard (side-by-side), but especially the squarish ESCVX layout was a surprise. Or rather, the ETAOIN (vertical) keyboard - hadn't been aware of the Linotype-layout.

Whilst it does have a fixed keyboard and is for writing text, it's not a typewriter - so, not a sighting for The Database (but does get a posting :)
