Printle: A Printing Word Game from Metal Type


Dave Hughes

Fascinating documentary showing production of The Times (UK) during the blitz of 1942. Surprisingly, there's a bit of Monotype action in there. I think they used it for the leading article.

It's good to see standards being upheld and ties were still being worn by many trades and working folk generally. No wonder the war was won.
