In case of traffic tie-ups at the drawbridges, two big speedboats were standing by to haul light equipment across the river. The move went as smoothly as an enchainement in a Royal Ballet Swan Lake. By the time all 44 Linotypes (cost: up to $20,000 each) had been uprooted and replanted, the Sun-Times was able to boast that the titanic transfer had not delayed its press runs a single minute...
