1. Did I hear this editor using "myself" as the first person singular pronoun?
2. Mimeograph® used a waxed-paper stencil you typed on and then put on a big cylinder that forced oily, black ink through onto the paper; so you could make unlimited copies from the stencil.
Ditto® was a transfer process using a solvent and produced purple copies, and had a limited result.
