There was a roomful of these giant, spider-like, clanking contraptions, operated by guys who sat on little stools at their feet, like supplicants. I remember watching them working at composing type in long metal trays, selecting letters by hand from compartmentalized drawers, their hands moving so fast, and they composed backwards so it would read forwards, as I recall--amazing. And yes, hot lead spurts were an occupational hazard. And in a cold little room that had been built into the loft space was a big, humming, often-malfunctioning computer that got the level of attention and cosseting of a newborn nestled amid its louder, tougher, noisier siblings. I was seeing the transition from hot to cold type happening in real time.Toni Sciarra Poynterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446177784964129213noreply@blogger.com
