[Boatanchors] Gonset G76

[Peter Markavage]

I know what you mean Glen. A lot of them were done a mimeograph type
machines. Some of the early Clegg (Zeus and Interceptor) stuff was done
that way too. A number of the early Gonset schematics were also on
"Engineering type sheets" typically 4S or 6S size. Those sheets had the
typical "vinegar"-type smell and, if you exposed them to bright light,
over time, the paper got darker and darker. In the early 70's, some
manufactuers actually used Dennison "wet" copiers to produce copies. Each
sheet actually came out wet and you had to put it aside to let it dry to
avoid smearing. If you put of bunch of sheets together with a staple in
the corner, the odds of all the sheets automatically rolling up into a
scroll were very good. Fun stuff.
