Love Letters to Wellington

Hot metal, lead letters
I arrived from UK in 1965 to work as a compositor at the Southland News. In 1967 I was working at the Wellington Polytechnic to a new job setting up a hot metal section in the school of design - with John Drawbridge, Dennis Beytagh, Don Ramage, Kate ... and many others from the school of design. My role was to show students how lead letters worked as hand set pieces. Gerald Bennett.
