The typefounding firm of Schelter & Giesecke in Liepzig appears to have produced casters under its own name (although I do not know if they were offered for sale).
Here is an illustration of a Schelter & Giesecke Dampfdoppelgießmaschine ("steam powered double type casting machine"). It consists of two relatively conventional pivotal machines mounted on the same bench.
