Casting Italian Nebitype mats on an American Ludlow type caster!

This past summer I was researching and experimenting a lot to make Nebitype Mats compatible with the Ludlow caster. Historically, there were some printers doing that, but it was impossible to source an old conversion stick. The only one I found was in Australia, with a printer that could only communicate via Facebook and no email. He somehow posted some photos on my request, but then decided to go ahead and construct my own stick. With the help and skills from my local mechanic, we finally figured it out (after several attempts) and it now works wonderfully.

He was always the star
Never took second billing
It was not for reward
For he asked not a shilling
Be it beef, squab, or pork
He stood ready and willing
There could be no career
More noble or thrilling
Than to serve His Highness
As a savory filling
