Lino-Types

  Most who retired from the workforce (especially the Boomer Generation) had a real-first-job experience as an apprentice of some sort. For two years, 1964-66, this author was the singular operator of the reliable but complicated Linotype machine at the Academy Press, FLA, as told in this story, Just in Time . This was my apprenticeship. In the mechanics of the old Linotype machines, the word spacing ligatures were called space bands. What Are Space bands? Space bands were special two-part wedges made of brass. They were inserted between words during the typesetting process to create adjustable word spacing. When the line was being justified (adjusted to a uniform length), these space bands expanded vertically, forcing words apart evenly across the line. This mechanism allowed automatic justification, which was one of the revolutionary features of the Linotype machine. How They Worked: The operator typed the line, and each character was assembled into a line of matrices (molds for ...

The village of Collegedale, TN, lies east of Chattanooga and is home to my college (1966-70), SAU, Southern Adventist University, which once was known as Southern Missionary College ( more history found attached ). In the Tennessee Valley: A Tale of Chattanooga and Collegedale In 1970, nestled in the bend of the Tennessee River, the City of Chattanooga was grappling with the burdens of its industrial legacy and yearning for renewal. Just a short drive to the east, the peaceful village of Collegedale stood in quiet contrast—home to Southern Missionary College and a deeply rooted Seventh-day Adventist community. These two communities, separated by twenty miles and a world of pace and purpose, were in the midst of transformation shaped by national currents and local conviction. WHO: The People and Leaders Chattanooga was a city of workers and manufacturers. Thousands were employed by companies like Combustion Engineering, U.S. Pipe and Foundry, DuPont, and Coca-Cola Bottling Co. The indus...

Circa 1964-66 | Just in Time

  “Before the Mouse: Orlando, 1964” Circa 1964, Central Florida stood on the edge of history, though few realized just how dramatically life was about to change. The summer of 1964 hummed with the familiar rhythm of cicadas and the distant growl of tractors on the orange groves of Central Florida. Orlando was a sleepy town, a modest community rooted in agriculture, cattle, citrus, and quiet living. With a population barely exceeding 88,000, the city center bustled around Church Street Station, and most of the locals knew each other by name—or at least by family reputation. Young mothers pushed baby strollers down brick-paved roads while kids on bicycles tossed rolled-up newspapers into front yards. Men in short-sleeved shirts and wide ties commuted to downtown banks or real estate offices. Teenagers cruised in chrome-finned Chevys and Fords, and radio dials flicked between Elvis and the Beach Boys. The local theater might show Mary Poppins, but the idea that its creators were secre...
