The Art Department prepares all drawings and mounts all photographers, Commercial photographers take pictures of faculty and students. Staff photographers take action pictures in and about the school. Manuscript copy is sent to the Office Practice department to be typewritten. The typewritten copy is sent to the Print Shop to be set in type on a type- setting machine. A proof of the type is sent to the Eng- lish Department for reading. Photographs are mounted on a sheet of heavy card- board. Proofs of type and drawings are mounted similarly. These paste-ups are placed before the camera and photographed. The exposed films are taken from the camera and developed in the dark-room. After the negatives are dry, the various parts of a page are assembled and stripped together for transferring to the zinc plate. A zinc plate is sensitized in the Whirler, after which the stripped negatives representing one page are fastened to the plate in position.

The sensitizer thus exposed to light is made insoluble. The plate is then rolled up or developed with developing ink. The image appears when the unexposed sensitizer is washed oif. The developed plate is attached to the offset press cylinder. Water is applied to the plate after a slight etch. The image, still retaining the greasy developing ink, repels the water. The balance of the plate, or the unexposed parts, attracts water which in turn repels ink. When ink is applied to the plate, the image picks it up and transfers it to a rubber blanketed cylinder which in turn transfers the image to the paper. This entire process is repeated for each of the 160 pages which make up the 1940 Craftsman. The pages are assembled in order and bound in book form for delivery to purchasers.
