North Shore Aiists'Guild November2006 Page $ PRTh]TTNG THE NEWSLEITER BACK IN THE "GOOD OLD DAYS" Before the computer came into general use being Editor of the Newsletter was a tedious and grubby task! We used a Gestetner machine (wifi explain for those juniors who don't know what I am talking about). We wrote out the newsletter in longhand then put in an ordinary typewriter a special three piece legal size piece of stationary. The top sheet was a thin wax sheet, then a carbon then a stiffer piece of paper. The idea was that the typewriter key cut into the wax and the carbon left an imprint on the bottom sheet. Fine as long as you didn't make a mistake. If you did you covered the error with a sort of bilious pink liquid, let it dry and retyped the letter or word. Then the interesting part started. We kept the machine at Klee Wyck, it was fairly large. First you had to ink the rollers (a very large tube of very messy ink), overdo it and it squirted everywhere and not enough and you couldn't read it. You then hooked the sheet, which had holes at the top, to a set of pegs and very thing. carefully smoothed it over the rollers. You put a pile of paper underneath and started to roll the After a time were legible. they if were lucky and after that you throwaways The first two copies were usually you had to apply more ink, very carefully. Marion Keen and I managed to get ourselves into such a mess one time that we took a monoprint off each others' clothes and tried to submit it to a jurying! We got turned down!
