CJ, HP, What's this, the dozens???

I worked on Compugraphic, develop the paper. Linotron. Magnetic tape. Pink paper-ribbon hole-punch. Just about anything computerized that came after the IBM cards that had to do with typography, I've done it.

Ah the days of calculating X-Y values to create mathmatical three columns with gutters. Or the days before that with the waxer. Or later when the copy would get married to a photo and you had to create invisible matrixes to represent where an image, let's say an airplane wing, might go "into" the type and have to wrap around the nonexistent object.

Penta, LinoVIP, IBM XT I-O table interfaces with S&R routines to flip the quote marks, changing the fonts on the spin drums ... h34r:
