Why -30- ?
Okay maybe I dozed off just a little some where in the middle or maybe I'm just a little slow. Nonetheless all that having been said tell me why the movie is called -30-. And what's with the dash before and after the 30?
shareWhen a newspaper finished a story he put -30- at the end of it. It meant the end.
I read somewhere they used -30- because that was the length of the gallies that the type was put in after it was set. A galley was like a metal tray.
If you go on you tube and search hot metal printing, you might see one. Also try linotype machines.
