Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On a December day in 1885, Bill Barnes, a journeyman from the New York World, and Joe McCann, representing the New York Herald, faced off in a match race of Swifts, compositors who set type by hand, individually, letter by letter, with incredible accuracy and speed. McCann got off to a slow start, b…ut at the end of the four-hour race, he joined shopfloor legends Clinton 'The Kid' DeJarnatt and the 'Velocipede' George Arensberg as a working-class hero. It was not the last race of its kind between Swifts, but already looming were changes both social and technological that would cause these gifted tramp printers to disappear.
