Default Best way to build the monster?

Posted By: Joe Pelaez

Back around 1944, I got to work with one of those old printing monsters.

It is easier to remove type, than to reset a corrected version. ... it only takes minutes to correct.

We mustn't forget, that a typesetter caught the Magie error, and then made the correction. ... we're talking about changing the type of the letter (i), to a letter (e).

How much more time is required to change (Nat'l) to (Amer)?

One typesetter took the time to do it, and the other one didn't.
