    I think a pound of linotype would weigh exactly the same as a pound of pure lead.. Which is good... I would hate to think what would happen if the pound of lead weighed more than the pound of linotype, because it certainly should..

    a pound of lead weighs more than a pound of gold.

    I posted some pictures here: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=24417

    As noted, most ingots are about 10 kilograms or 22 pounds.

    There's no need to cut linotype ingots, they fracture just like glass.

    X2 454pb Put a 2x4 under each end, strike middle with axe or sledge, and it'll crack. I cleaned out a printer, and boat shaped ingots with pincer on one end ranged from 22 to 25 lbs.
