Cutting in the Composing Room

Cutting in the Composing Room

Deaf employee, James Buemi, using a cutter to trim his work.

Among the tools used by staff in the Composing Room were cutting tools. Cutters were used to trim type and images into sections to be arranged into page columns. These sections would then be adhered to a paper board and the completed page would be used to create a printing plate.
