HI APO,
I am an instructor at MIT in the Edgerton Center. During IAP, I am teachin=
g a seminar [EC/050, Recreate Historical Experiments], where the students a=
nd I are investigating the life, experiments and technology of the time of =
Ben Franklin. Franklin was a printer who set his own type and printed docu=
ments, almanacs, books and other works.
My students are curious about the manual process of typesetting and printin=
g. We observed a demonstration of this process, and the students became fa=
scinated.
Thery Mislick, instructor at MIT Student Art Association (SAA) and MIT Edge=
rton Center, informs me that APO has a press and type in the APO office. H=
istorically, years ago, the press was part of SAA, where she used it.
We would like to know if there is a way for interested students, such as th=
ose in my academic course, could get access to the press at APO, and do pri=
nting projects with it?
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Cavicchi
