The Match! - Technical Information

Technical Information

Woodworth uses "cold type" composing machines from the mid-20th century such as the VariTyper and JustoWriter to typeset copy for The Match!. He then makes pasteups of each page and shoots them with a home-built copy camera to make negatives. The negatives are then used to make offset printing plates using direct solar energy by exposing them to the sun. The plates are then mounted into a small offset printing press and thus used to print the pages of The Match!.

    —Nancy Hale (b. 1908)

    “I was brought up to believe that the only thing worth doing was to add to the sum of accurate information in the world.”
