Film Cassettes
by Charles Collier

 

Charles Collier manufactures, rebuilds, and repairs film cassettes for the typesetting industry including Linotype and Agfa cassettes. We make buckets and lids for the L300-330. We also do prototype work for the industry. The company was begun in 1971 as a musical instrument making company, later to manufacture and develop cassettes for typesetting equipment. We did typesetting, doing book work and technical illustration which was outputted on an old Linotype100 typesetter, we became frustrated with the output cassette as its maximum load was only thirteen feet. The Cassette Spooler was invented by us to take care of the problem, it is an insert device for the cassette which rolls the film/paper output up to one hundred feet in length.

In the early 90s we introduced new Tops and Buckets for the Linotype 300 series hoping the user could save money by making his own repairs. We continue working on other designs and do prototype machine work.
