I've got plenty of "pure" lead - as close to it as I'll probably get. I just purchased 10 lbs of "Linotype lead... made from large and small numbers". I'm going to test it with the pencils (first time doing that as well), but just wanted to see ahead of time:
If Linotype letters are melted down and nothing else added, is the 4 / 12 / 84 percentages usually the same most of the time (or close to it)?
Please forgive me if this was asked before. I did a couple of searches. Found out typing "Linotype" and variations of it will give me hundreds of posts to review. Still a newbie.
All the best,
Glenn
