Happy memories of my apprenticeship on monotype casters and then keyboards. Couldn't see it ever changing - how fast technology has overtaken us!
-
I had the previlage of working in Monotype composition and Supre Caster and did little in keyboard. It was a thrill and satisfying. I owe it to my dad late Gokuldas Shenoy, who I believe is the first person in the world to install Monotype in a small town like Kasaragod in Kerala by installing the first Kannada typecasting. As a child I was fascinated by the mere sound of that typecasting machine. I still love that music. Sad the technology is obsolute with the advent of computers!

I too was a keyboard and caster op - my mistake rate was incredibly low. Now at 46 and been out of print for over 4 years, my mistake rate on computers has skyrocketed. Hated those days though - case changes, keybar frames, stop bar case and drum changes to say nothing of the caster once there. Bad, bad days. Gimme a Mac and InDesign/Quark any day. Yet that beautiful touch to the keyboard I have never experienced since.

Oh does this bring back memories! I operated a Monotype keyboard and then moved on to the casting room. I was and still am fascinated at the ballet of parts on the caster!
