I remember the start of a favorite TV series which began with the major
character working in a drafting office. Most of the dialog was carried
out while in the background, a young draffy was scratching out from the
Mylar, the largest ink blot you ever did see. I used to use the old
parallel motion and adjustable square and I lost count of the number of
times I would slide that square ........as it smudged my ink across the
sheet! Ah, happy days.

    Diazo machines for copying, coming off the machine wet and with ammonia
    smell, as well as cepia negatives corrected with acid and neutralizer.
    I don't miss it!
