Today Linda and I visited the National Park Service’s replica of Benjamin Franklin’s print shop in Philadelphia. The man who was operating the press showed us how it worked, and then told us that after a printing was complete, an apprentice took the type out of the press and put it in cases.
There were two cases for the letters , an upper case and a lower case. Guess which one held the capital letters.
You learn something new every day.
