'Artificial' Intelligence in the Bindery
Many years ago (too many to admit!), I worked in a hot-type letterpress shop in NYC. The bindery manager wore a short-sleeve shirt with the sleeves cut off, and had biceps that Schwarzenegger would approve of from muscling all those paper lifts around.
He also had decades for experience in handling paper, and in setting up and troubleshooting all of the various buckle folders, guillotine cutters, and saddlestitchers and perfect binders within his domain. He's a part of history now, as are the countless hands-on bindroids that went through multi-year apprenticeships and on to careers in finishing.
