Vin Crosbie allowed these excellent photographs to be used on Metal Type.
Vin said: "These photographs detail the production of a 10,000-circulation daily newspaper in Connecticut on Friday, March 17, 1961. I found these slides among those of my father, the paper's general manager. The Chronicle has been owned by my family since 1877. I'm the fifth generation and the sixth is already working there.
