Returning from Heritage Printers, Charlotte, North Carolina

Monotype Composition Caster is poised for unloading. Bill Welliver’s Thompson waits in the back of the truck.

Gulp.

Alas, Bill Welliver with the come along to pull it off the bed of the rollback.
More come-along plus brute force.
Hey there’s Reed Dixon on the right. Where’d he come from? Good timing!
