Lynotype made lead casting typesetting equipment. These cabinets look
like the earliest Lyno cabinets that became optical typesetters.
My bet is it is an early commercial system they marketed to semi
automate a Lynotype lead line casting machine. Maybe was based on an
apple computer and serial control to run the analog typesetter.
I think at one time Lynotype tried driving the keys with solenoids run
by a computer.
Lynotype never made printing presses, mostly typesetting equipment.
