| 397849 | 2005-10-20 23:32:00 | My dad was a linotype operator. Started work in the Taranaki something, maybe herald in about 1930. As a kid I was fascinated by that machine, all its cogs and cams. one day put my hand on this really smooth looking shiny stuff. MOLTEN LEAD! (pls exscuse the off topicness.) |
