No, but I was a newspaperman, and I loved the mechanics of hot type, plating and rumbling presses. I fooled around a little with monotype and linotype machines, and learned to set headlines by hand with a type stick letters from a California type case. The "handle" actually comes from the way letters were dumped in the type case. At the newspaper where I worked, all the linotype machines were operated by graduates of a school for the deaf. It was skilled work, paid well, and offered good benefits, and the typesetters were valued employees of the newspaper. Of course, that was in the days before corporate America went for a disposable workforce. -- __________________________________________________ __________ Email sent to will never reach me. |

He supported all six of us...Thanks for the reminder of days past. -Mike In article , Harry Krause wrote: Frank Maier wrote: Harry Krause wrote in message ... I like your hotmail name, Harry.
