The linotype operator has a wonderful opportunity for self-expression. To the proof-reader goes the responsibility for the operator’s mistakes, and if the fingers slip-up on so small a detail as one letter in the middle depths of a five-syllable word, and if the error “goes through,” the operator will shrug his shoulders and nod toward the proof reader.
This week I could have set:
“… Mrs. Farr sank two solos…”
“The last number on the pogrom…”
