I wish I'd stop remembering old stuff!   We used to use a roneo machine to make copies, after typing the text on a stencil.

Yes, and the mess, the ink, what a job!

 

About 25 years after I had left that job, we happened to be getting some house plans done by an architect, and we got talking about where I had worked. I told him, and he said he collected old office machinery, and guess what....he had the very same roneo machine!

you put the icecream in the microwave instead of the freezer, and don't discover what you've done for 24hrs.
