No Grace, typesetting is just like typing, except you had to change typefaces on the computer. We also had to fix that thing if it broke down. Noadays, they do all that without changing anything, just typing on the typesetter. Yes, i worked on the compositions too. We called it keylining those days, today, all is done on the computer. We laid out the pages, put pictures to it, i remember we had a big camera to prepair the photos for publishing. We also did work for churchpapers and i had my own monthly paper for my Parents without Partners Group, they put out a newspaper monthly and i was in charge, this way it was done professionally. And it was lots of fun.
So you know how a newspaper works. Waxing the typeset pieces and putting them down.
This one was just a small one. They also had a store for wedding invitations etc. But i didnt work there. It was a family operated newspaper. All their children worked there. And i was sad when they sold it, they had a death in the family and a big operation bought it. Great to remember.
