This really helps understand how productivity and quality has increased so dramatically over the years.
I knew that it was labor intensive but Holy Moly, that is a lot of work to publish a single copy let alone hundreds of them. The upkeep and maintenance on the printing presses must have been intense. Lots of praise to those earlier MR staff for their work and dedication to the hobby.
Its really something when you view this after viewing the video Jenny did on how todays MR is published. We have it easy compared to 81 years ago.
