This was very interesting. I have the instruction manual for my 1913 Singer treadle machine which was my great grandmothers.😊
Neat stuff. Thanks for passing this along.
Thanks! This was very interesting. I have vintage books from the 30s/40s from my aunt and the 60s/70s (from my sisters) - I'm going to check them out a little closer now. I really do treasure them, because they are so informative, and written for a home sewing audience who are making most of their clothing themselves. They have all kinds of dressmaking, tailoring, and basics like making bound buttonholes, interlining, etc that are so often not in modern sewing books.
Yes, many of the modern sewing books are like beginner books without much depth. It is quite refreshing to get a vintage book with more advanced techniques included.
With all the effort and people involved in the process 50 years ago, it’s amazing that one could purchase a newspaper then for only 25 cents.
Your very right because people today would at least charge $15 for all that work.😀
The infrastructure then was equal to infrastructure now. Just different. You aren’t figuring coders, web services, etc.
@@elizabethclaiborne6461 I agree. In 1978, NYT changed the price to 25 cent. That is 1.18 in todays money. But, NYT Sunday paper is now $12 per copy (mon- fri $7) because they are paying more for the work being done. So, back in the day they really were short changing themselves given the work load.
You always have such intersting content. I will cherish my old sewing and craft books even more now.
Thanks. I've had some old machines and found the instruction manuals to be very good. More detail than the ones today. When I was looking for a back up machine a few years ago I found a Bernina that had rollers instead of knobs. I tried it for a couple of hours and asked about a manual for it. It needed a manual. The store and I tried to find one and there just wasn't any. They even called Bernina for me. Didn't buy it. Too much to try to figure out without the manual.
A Bernina with rollers? Hmm. That sounds very interesting.

I’m 62, not even at retirement yet. But I spent almost 20 years as a layout/pasteup artist. This is not how any of it worked. Watching one old video on RUclips is not researching the printing industry - which is alive and well, btw.
Early digital wire service for the press is not desktop publishing - which are conflated here. A fax machine is not a Mac. Linotype was replaced by photoetching. And nobody had to start over for one mistake 🙄 They paid me my money to do a seamless fix. But we had copy editors and proofreaders - the people who would have sent this tape back for extreme revision after more fact gathering.
Each line was made from lead, not paper like in the later pasteup method. Therefore, you would have needed to re-caste text on the linotype machine (a lot of work). Also, I didn't simply watch one video. I have background in design and there were a few colleagues from the printing industry whom I consulted with about the best way to present to persons having no experience or background in printing. So, its super simplified with this in mind. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
