If you think he was underqualified to explain such a thing or was
somehow being dishonest, or you think I just pulled all of this out of my ass for the sheer hell of it, then show me what you have to the contrary. I use Microsoft Word, which simulates a printing press. So there. ![]() Actually, old wives tales persist even among the qualified. Ask ten pilots about lean-of-peak operations and you'll get twelve incompatible replies. I suppose that if the type were held together by a block that was not as high as the letters, this outward bending could occur (and would be more severe for a printing character because of the contact with the rollers and paper). I've actually worked at a hand printing press with movable type, but it was so long ago I don't remember enough details for that to be very useful. (It was in the Dominican Republic, I was eight.) I remember a prior discussion (here even) about this very point, and the arguments brought up then convinced me that it was probably an OWT. I could be wrong about that... I haven't been wrong at all this year and I'm probably due for an error. This could be the one. ![]() Jose -- "There are 3 secrets to the perfect landing.
