The Star Self-Actuating Metal Feeder was made by the Linotype Parts Company (later Star Parts).
This is a brief manual published by the Linotype Parts Co., Inc. (before they became Star Parts). It is illustrated in the original with actual photographic prints. (In the original, the first page of photographs is unnumbered but constitutes page 3. The second page of photographs, also unnumbered, is outside of the page numbering sequence and follows page 5.
It contains very brief Installation and Maintenance instructions, and a Parts List. The instructions describe and illustrate installation on Linotype and Intertype style linecasters, and describe but do not illustrate installation on Ludlow, Elrod, and Monotype machines (Monotype Composition, Giant, and Type and Rule Casters, and the Monotype Material Maker).
