[Leica] IMG end of the world

[Bill at photobynelsch.com (Bill )]

I used to use one of those 36 odd years ago in the manufacture of prototype 
PC boards.   Photograph the artwork and apply
appropriate reductions and use the resulting negative to coat copper clad pc 
boards.  Man, that took me back.

I have this feeling that not very many Luggers recognized the object in Ric 
Carter's photo as the abandoned skeleton of a horizontal
process camera. Clearly those of us who have actually used them knew what it 
was. But I must confess that it doesn't look a whole
lot like a camera to anybody who hasn't met one.

The process camera was used to photograph a "mechanical", which is to say a 
page layout, to produce copies ("photomechanical
transfers"), plates, or films. Nowadays everybody just uses 
computer-to-plate or computer-to-press, except for the diehard
traditionalists who still use imagesetters....
