Subject: RE: Any old ex-hacks out there?
Ah, Chordstrangler, I can smell the hot metal, and feel the building shake!

The first daily I worked on had a steel-reinforced top floor. A crane hoisted the metal to a loading platform at that level, so that its subsequent progression towards the presses was always downwards. I still fantasize about Linotype machines. Heath Robinson, or what?
