While Pygment Press now has useful holders to cast foundry matrices on the Super Caster, there is always Plate 41 in the Parts Book to drool over.
Here are views of the c1SE Foundry Bridge from Plate 41, printed in 3D plastic and bolted to a spare Display Head. Note that in the lower left picture the approximate location of a foundry matrix is outlined in red. It can be seen there is a lot of clearance room to the left of where the d13SEE Type Lifter is situated, this is the reason for the whole attachment.
As Theo Rehak says in his 1993 book Practical Typecasting: "Through the era of the pivotal caster and into that of the automatic caster, matrices went through a continual reduction of length. Original matrices have sometimes been gammoned to fit newer machines". With the Monotype foundry matrix holder, or any of my designs, there is no need to modify original mats, due to the clearance shown above.
The Monotype foundry holders secure a matrix in the same fashion as the previously shown Indian holder, that being a clamp/screw arrangement.
Note that while the Monotype Foundry holder fits up to existing equipment, to my knowledge, they never did address the issue of casting foundry matrices for type bodies over 36 pt. The design of the large Super caster mould set (42 pt. to 72 pt.) has the seal-off area for the matrix positioned below the top of the mould, thereby limiting the casting of large type to only English Monotype square matrices. That being said, and knowing the skillful capabilities of the Monotype mould department, if someone asked, they could have built it. Unfortunately, this is all gone.
This is why I proposed to modify this top plate on spare insets so that there is clearance with larger foundry matrices, see this description:

9 years ... (!) ... I had to wait nine years to relive the excitement of reviewing this imaginative very particular Sicilian popular feast of Fiumedinisi town (Messina): the Sicilian town celebrates it in honor of Her patron saint Virgin Mary Annunciated; Fiumedinisi celebrated it last time in 2007, fortunately I was there and I realized a small report I posted on Flickr. This is a report about the feast of August 14, 2016: it takes place in two stages along an almost straight path that joins two churches, road called precisely '' the road of float" (the same path is achieved by kneeling worshipers during the mystical procession called "of kneelings" or even understood as "travels", that this year, unlike the other editions, was made just the previous evening of this long-awaited edition, also this procession "of kneeling" I described here on Flickr). Initially the Float Feast was celebrated in Fiumedinisi on March 25, when there is the ricorrence of the religious feast of the Annunciation of the Lord, only towards the end of the nineteenth century the feast was moved to August to allow so many emigrants to took part to it. The living float of Fiumedinisi is a heavy votive machine built in wood and iron that is carried on the shoulders of about 150 men (Its curb weight is around 2.8 tons, 12 meters long and 8 meters high), three children take place on it, they personify the Eternal Father, the Archangel Gabriel and the Blessed Virgin Mary, in addition to the archpriest of Fiumedinisi, the bishop of Messina, and other devotees also they have the role of monitoring-reassure very young children who play the role of Angels. The feast of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, patron saint of Fiumedinisi, founded in the sixteenth century during the Spanish rule, then it consists of a first part with participants don't wear traditional clothes, which takes place starting around 11:00 am, begins from the square in front of the twelfth-century Sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin Mary Annunciated, to arrive in a little square in front of the church of St. Peter; then in the early afternoon, always along the same path, there is a second part with all devotees who wear the traditional dresses. When all have taken their places, three hammer blows kick off at the start, the very big-heavy float is carried on the shoulder of devotees, while people waving handkerchiefs as he passed; the representation finds its maximum intensity, and closes with a song dialect of great beauty and sweetness, in an atmosphere of complete silence, handed down for centuries, in the form of "dialogue" between the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Archangel Gabriel who is announcing to Mary with his sweet song about the mistery of Conception of Son of God, he is kneeling and gives Her the lily, in memory of the purity that Mary will not never lose (iconography that we find in Sacred Representations).

9 anni…(!)… ho dovuto aspettare ben 9 anni per rivivere l’emozione di rivedere la immaginifica festa popolare e religiosa Siciliana che la cittadina di Fiumedinisi (Messina) celebra in onore della sua patrona Maria Santissima Annunziata: 9 anni infatti sono passati dall’ultima volta che Fiumedinisi celebrò questa sua festa, io c’ero e vi realizzai un piccolo report che postai qui su Flickr. Questo è un report della festa, realizzata quest’anno il 14 Agosto 2016: essa si svolge in due tempi con “una andata ed un ritorno” lungo un percorso quasi rettilineo che unisce due chiese, chiamata appunto “strada ‘a vara” (lo stesso percorso viene realizzato in ginocchio dai fedeli durante quella processione mistica chiamata “degli inginocchiati” od anche intesa come “i viaggi”, che quest’anno, a differenza delle altre edizioni, è stata realizzata proprio la sera precedente di questa tanto attesa edizione, anche questa processione “degli inginocchiati” ho descritto in un passato post qui su Flickr). Inizialmente la Festa della Vara veniva celebrata a Fiumedinisi il 25 marzo, proprio in concomitanza con la ricorrenza religiosa dell'Annunciazione del Signore, soltanto verso al fine del XIX secolo la Festa venne spostata ad agosto per consentire ai tanti emigrati di prendevi parte. La Vara di Fiumedinisi è una pesantissima macchina votiva costruita in legno e ferro che viene portata in spalla da circa 150 uomini (Il suo peso a vuoto si aggira intorno alle 2,8 tonnellate, lunga m 12 e alta m 8), su di essa prendono posto tre bambini tra i 10 e i 14 anni che impersonano il Padre Eterno, l'Arcangelo Gabriele e la Vergine Maria, oltre all'arciprete di Fiumedinisi, al vescovo di Messina, ed altri devoti che hanno anche il compito di sorvegliare-rassicurare i giovanissimi bimbi che rivestono il ruolo di Angioletti. La festività dell’Annunciazione di Maria Vergine, patrona di Fiumedinisi, istituita nel XVI secolo durante la dominazione spagnola, si compone quindi di una “andata” senza che i partecipanti indossano gli abiti tradizionali, partenza che avviene attorno alle ore 11,00, inizia dalla piazza antistante il Santuario del XII secolo dedicato alla Madonna Annunziata, per giungere nel largo posto davanti la chiesa di San Pietro; poi nel primo pomeriggio, sempre lungo lo stesso percorso vi è un “ritorno con tutti i devoti che, questa volta, indossano gli abiti tradizionali, i portatori sono completamente vestiti di bianco e scalzi, mentre Maria, l’Arcangelo Gabriele ed il Padre Eterno vestono i loro caratteristici costumi. Quando tutti hanno preso posto, ecco che tre colpi di martello danno il via alla partenza, l’enorme vara viene portata in spalla alla volta della chiesa Matrice, mentre la gente sventola fazzoletti al suo passaggio; la rappresentazione trova la sua massima intensità, e si chiude, con un canto dialettale di grande suggestione e dolcezza, in un contesto di assoluto silenzio, tramandato da secoli, in forma di “dialogo” tra la Beata Vergine Maria e l’Arcangelo Gabriele, il quale dopo aver annunciato a Maria col suo dolcissimo canto del concepimento del Figlio dell'Altissimo, inginocchiandosi le porge il giglio, in ricordo della purità che Maria non perderà (iconografia che ritroviamo nelle Sacre Rappresentazioni).
Matrices sold by Wagner & Schmidt and cast by several type foundries, thus a typefaces that went by many different names. Originally designed by Sjoerd de Roos as “Ella Kursief“ for Lettergieterij Amsterdam in 1915, Wagner & Schmidt adaption attributed to Carl August Kloberg.

Found an even older typographic map from another esteemed publisher.
Set in 1777 (so the matrices must've been made prior) by Johann Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf, founder of the publishing house Breitkopf & Härtel.
"In the 18th century, sentimental cartography was very much à la mode, with this map as one of the finer examples. ‘Das Reich der Liebe’ (‘the Empire of Love’) by Johann Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf, was published in Leipzig in 1777. In a brief explanatory, it describes how pilgrims set out from the Land of Youth, where are located the sources of the rivers Joy and Wish and may end up in any of six other countries."
Shown here are two original Lanston (American) Monotype matrices as issued by the company prior to 1910, with 0.050" depth of drive and no 'comb' supports. After that date, Monotype recalled what they could and issued composition matrices with 0.030" drive and a deeper cone hole. Matrices courtesy of Rich Hopkins.

La chiesa di S. Maria della Strada in agro di Matrice è tra le basiliche più intriganti del Molise. Non solo per la sua architettura, per le sue leggende, per la sua storia, per le sue espressioni artistiche, ma anche per i suoi misteri.
Nel XVIII secolo nel Molise circolava una leggenda secondo la quale S. Maria della Strada sarebbe stata costruita in una sola notte insieme ad altre decine di chiese da un mitico Re Bove per espiare una violenza fatta ad una sua congiunta. Ad aiutarlo sarebbe stato il Diavolo che però non sarebbe riuscito a completare l’opera entro il tempo che il papa gli aveva imposto.
Una leggenda che non trova alcun fondamento storico, ma che qualcuno ancora racconta per giustificare la presenza sulla sua facciata dell’immagine ripetuta di un bue che sarebbe una sorta di firma dell’immaginario personaggio.....

The church of S. Maria della Strada in the countryside of Matrice is among the most intriguing basilicas in Molise. Not only for its architecture, for its legends, for its history, for its artistic expressions, but also for its mysteries.
In the eighteenth century a legend circulated in Molise according to which S. Maria della Strada was built in one night together with dozens of other churches by a mythical King Bove to expiate a violence done to one of his relatives. The Devil would have helped him, but he would not have been able to complete the work within the time that the Pope had imposed on him.
A legend that has no historical basis, but that someone still tells to justify the presence on its facade of the repeated image of an ox that would be a sort of signature of the imaginary character .....

I'm looking for a way to make small, accurate measurements with matrices and tooling. Here is my first stop to find something useful. The search for accuracy continues...
