This galley is holding Ludlow slugs on hand at a printery where individual lines were needed rather than substantial settings. When the printer retired, the Museum acquired his standing jobs and standing lines, printing press and other memorabilia.

The lines represent the various kinds of sausage produced by this printer's clients. The sausage casings were printed in this works on a small stop-cylinder press (also in the collection).
