Hi all,
The 24 drawers of type and the cabinet are in the silkscreen room for
now. At least half of the type is useful to the APOster Press Shop.
There is a very nice italic, we don't have, among other faces.
The cabinet and many of the drawers are FRAGILE, and need to be
handled VERY CAREFULLY.
If they need to be moved, please ask
apo-printshop@mit.edu
for help.
Dick Fletcher donated use of his mini-SUV.
My time and the gasoline are donated.
Thanks to the Museum, and jhawk of The Tech for their help.

Hi ink onto paper kissers
I arrange with Howard for the Museum to donate the type to APO.
And will see to moving it from Waltham.

Ahoy ahoy, printshop :)
I was at the Charles River Museum today and bumped into
someone by the name of Howard Gorin, who has 20+ sets of type
that he has no use for and would like to get rid of. Dude
was literally asking us to just take it then and there. I
have no idea if the chapter has interest/space, or even if it
was type we could use. Plus there was no way we could've
brought the chest back on bikes anyway ;) So I grabbed his
contact information and now I'm forwarding it to you.
If y'all are interested in more type, feel free to poke him.
He's quite friendly.
