Thanks Gordon - I do remember. If "the kid" came into prep from the pressroom looking for halftone dots, we'd put a few handfuls of film punches (round of course, we printed with round halftone dots) in box and send 'em back.
Warm Red, Type Lice, it goes on and on. There were probably cave men jokes of this kind...

I used to ask the new apprentices to push the press towards the wall a little so we can make room for printed piles.
