Joe, there is a great article in the current issue of Old Cardboard magazine (Issue #16; Summer 2008) about the New York Recorder newspaper which was a partnership between Buck Duke (ATC) and Joe Knapp, Jr. (ALCO). The article is very well written; I know the author well.

While the article is focused on the newspaper and the two color baseball supplements that it produced in 1892, there is a two page "side panel" with fairly detailed bios of Duke, Knapp and their longtime association.

The text of the article also discusses the first color offset printing developed with Knapp funding and their historic race with other NY newspapers to produce the first color Sunday Supplements from a mechanical press.

Hope you enjoy the article.
