Re: [PHOTO] Re: BMT Canarsie Line history question.

An interesting topic. I learned to use a California Job Case in school and then used it at work mostly to set Ludlow (i.e., display type).

Notice in the illustration (a fairly typical one, but there were many variants) that lower case letters, spaces, quads, etc. were arranged and sized by usage. For this discussion notice that on the Upper Case letters, the J and U are you are added at the end of the alphabet. Guess why?

To this day I can still read type in a composing stick (upside down and mirrored) -- "mind your p's and q's."
