Reply To: 1970s Typesetting

Gosh — it's just one generation of apparatus before I started. At least I got a proper display and could correct “on-screen”!

My first job in the typesetting dept. was to switch the photographic discs that each contained a single font, i.e.,

1. instruct the Compugraphic to image only Times New Roman

2. insert Times Roman disc

3. run job

4. rewind photographic paper

5. Repeat 1-5 for each of Bold, Italics, Bold Italics, and for any other font.

6. Do Not Make Any Mistake in The Above, or You Have To Start All Over.

It was great fun — nevertheless, Thank you Adobe for InDesign!
