Deaf Linotype Operators

Deaf Linotype Operators

Deaf printers on the linotype machines, Don Thomas, Don Core, (unknown), Dean Keefe, Richard Barney, Morris West, and Walter Wade

Linotype operators at The Washington Post retrieved edited articles from the newsroom from racks behind their seats. After the text was keyed into the linotype machine, the slugs of lines of text were stacked into a tray known as a galley. The operators placed these galleys on a moving conveyor belt and they were carried off to make-up and proofing.
