At the other end of the lines the printers get typewritten copies too-but they also get a narrow punched tape that they feed into an attachment that controls the typesetting keys in almost exactly the same way that a pianola record controls the keys of a piano.

Not a protein, synthetic urea is so closely related to protein that it can replace a major part of the vegetable proteins in cattle feed. Urea is manufactured in large quantity for use in many types of plastics and as a rich...
...haircut a year. Every Thanksgiving our butcher cuts me and the turkey for the same price." His show follows the long-set breakfast-time formula of gags and music, but is more elaborate than most. It boasts two singers (Brad Reynolds and Marie Greene), a straight man to feed Moore lines (Howard Petrie), Irving Miller's orchestra and the Merry Men Quartet...
