BTW, type cases came in quite a few different styles, with sizes 
of partitioned areas dependent on what was likely to go into 
them.  I learned to read upside down and backwards standing on a 
stool on the other side of table while my grandfather hand-set 
special headlines from a California Job case into a compositor 
stick.
