Blue lines! Remember blue lines? I used to have to proof them. (Do printers still produce them? I haven't worked in a print shop for--well--years.)
During a vacation near Ocean Shores on Washington's coast, I got lost and turned around at a very interesting location. I was fortunate to be able to take a picture to add to my sign collection. The sign said (the street was actually called Memory Lane):
Memory Lane
Dead End
No parking any time

I hand wrote my drafts and turned them in to the secretary
to type (because she was the only person in the dept with
a typewriter, it was that small a company), with hand-
drawn notations to leave X inches of blank space above the
figure captions so the figures could be pasted in. Then
Xerox copies (back then virtually all photocopiers were
"Xerox machines") of the figures were pasted in and after
everyone had blessed the content the whole thing was bundled
up with the original graphics and sent to the printer, who
did the page layups, set the type and shot camera copy with
the "good" figures.
