uh digitized for the academic film Archive of North America and uh this next film is also from that collection and this is part of this uh series of films that I've been showing uh that were part of the yellow ball animation series and this one is awesome again like yesterday's this one's journey in time enjoy [Music] [Music] oh no it's raining rain it's a castle we can go in that hello children welcome to my see my time machine [Music] can we try yeah sure stay there [Music] okay hey where are we now [Music] look at how big those things are [Music] hey where are we [Music] going hey look at that boat I think that might have PE patch on it yeah it is it must be in Egypt [Music] uhoh hey we're in I think what a flying horse [Music] [Music] look at that that's fine [Music] people maybe they were from mythology [Music] uhoh ah back back get [Music] back go there's a night and Shining Armor [Music] [Music] where are you now [Music] [Music] a [Music] [Music] what's that I don't know we must be in the future [Music] watch out [Music] 4 3 2 1 [Music] Zero 4 3 2 [Music] W hey what's happening getting Mur wow that was phenomenal um the fulley work especially um I only wish that they had recorded a little bit better had the mics placed a little bit better um because the the animation while it it was made by kids was still so good so so good and you know I was like 11 when this came out so my brain was totally thinking about stuff like this and doing stuff like this so it's pretty amazing okay uh let's shift gears a little bit and um so the Air Force United States Air Force did a uh informational series called Air Force now where they were uh basically I don't know if they were releasing this for television or just general usage but this was their way to get people excited about the Air Force and about uh enlisting in the Air Force so here's here's an episode of Air Force now U courtesy of the National Archives [Music] enjoy radios and if off move before leaving your hi I'm captain Kathy lasauce a 141 pilot at Norton Air Force base and I'm your Hostess for this issue of Air Force now [Music] [Music] this is one way the Air Force has to get you to a hospital for emergency or even routine treatment but what happens if the treatment you need is at a hospital halfway across the country well the Air Force has a a way of getting you there too Paris 1870 the prussians and French are engaged in a fierce bloody battle amid the turmoil the French launch 66 balloons sending 160 sick and wounded to safety this was the beginning since the early days of man flight military doctors have fought for an effective aeromed evacuation system and things have come a long way today the C9 night Andale is the primary aircraft for airlifting patients throughout the world but its story doesn't begin on a Runway or in the air it begins when a military member or dependent or retiree needs specialized Medical Care since it's impractical to have every type of specialist at every medical facility the Air Force has established six Regional Medical Centers with top-notch specialists at each one the 375th aeromedical airlift Wing Scott Air Force Base has European and Pacific based squadrons which move patients by C9 to staging facilities where Max c-141s bring them back to the States all activity is monitored by the wings patient AET Center at Scott the routine movement of patients in the United States begins with a phone call from the originating hospital to the patient reporting section the patient information that is received is then transferred to one of the six patient status boards located in the AA medical evacuation control center the medical service Court duty officer accomplishes the mission planning for the next day's Mission based upon the information that is contained on these six status ques after this is accomplished the flight itineraries are given to the flight clinical coordinator a qualified flight nurse who reviews the itineraries for any special patient requirement or medical restrictions the SC 9 is the only airplane ever designed specifically for aeromedical evacuation it can carry 30 to 40 stretcher patients more than 40 ambulatory patients or a combination of both together with two specially trained flight nurses and three aeromedical technicians most of the patients are ambulatory and many times they're permitted to have a family member accompany them to their destination Hospital the mission as today starts off to Fort leonardwood Army Airfield from for we're going to go on into Kansas City one of the bigger uh international airports from there through salinaa Kansas on out towards Buckley Denver Colorado area and from there back on up through offet down to Forbes Air Force Base and then into Fort leonardwood again for the second time in the afternoon and then back into Scott that'll be the full mission and it's going to take us approximately 14 hours from uh the time we start our briefing until the time we land to complete this Mission probably one of the the major problems I have with the patients that we carry on board the nine is the the fact that they are afraid of fine and many times the disease process or the injury that they have to their body is second most in their mind they're more concerned with with whether they're going to get from point A to point B safely and comfortably I believe all members of the V system do look at each patient as an individual person to be taken care of as best as possible the crew never seems to be too tired to make an extra effort for the patients that we're carrying or their family today on the mission we have been brief that we will have some patients that have difficulties with hypertension and thus I will be monitoring their blood pressure and pulse and respiration throughout the flight to make sure that they are not being harmed in any way by our patient movement procedures we like to feel that the the care that the patients receive while they're on the aircraft is comparable to the treatment that they receive while they're in a fixed medical facility we have the necessary equipment on board to care for these patients we like to feel that the patients are patients and they receive the the best possible treatment and care that can be offered Thresh the ability to be able to move somebody on an urg Mission such as a heart heart's problem or a burn victim or a small baby and be able to save their life because of the medium of air transportation has really gave me a lot of joy and probably a lot of satisfaction a lot more than I've received anything else I've done in my career since I've been in the Air Force aeromedical evacuation has come a long way since its Inception during the early days of flight today today within a matter of hours the C9 can deliver a patient to some of the best medical facilities available anywhere another example of the Air Force taking care of its own this cold front will be passing through Southern California in next 18 hours with improving conditions thereafter thank you a weather briefing is one of the most important things a crew needs before departing on a mission the information we obtain here helps us to determine a safer of flight and tells us what to expect along each leg of our flight and at our destination our next story is about people who also forecast the weather only the guys you'll be seeing don't work in a place like this their office can be just about anywhere once you leave the aircraft especially when the shoot pulls off your back and you get the opening shock of it opening and you look up it's a beautiful site to see a canopy above your head because then it's uh uh the worst part's over Landing is you know takeoffs are optional but Landings are mandatory we're what is known as the unconventional warfare weather team we support the Airborne forces in Europe and our primary mission is to provide second weather Wing the capability of deploying Personnel into any part of the ukom theater if necessary by means of parachute I'm captain will higgle this is Sergeant which Roberts Sergeant Jerry rug who assigned to olc 7th weather Squad at bat Germany right now there are only three units in air Weather Service that have parachute qualified people we provide forecast support for Airborne operations for flights specialized support to the commander that uh he may need for planning purposes Services which range from observations on the local Army Airfield to uh climatology data for particular team missions that are special forces team may be going on climatic surveys for some of the mountainous areas here for exercises that are being planned and then we have specialized teams which require a very unique form of data and we try to assimilate all this into a digestible form for the Special Force personnel something that's not totally couched in the terms of a meterologist or a weatherman but something that the average military person can understand and utilize in a special once we are on the ground depending on what mission uh you're task to do do if you're one of the first people in you may be tasked to set up the DZ the Drop Zone Itself by putting up a balloon to catch an effective wind an effective drift so you can put the panels where the aircraft will fly and release over if you're just on a long-term U exercise type thing and uh once in the field you becoming a part of the unit that you're supporting whether it be the Army Special Forces or a different army unit uh whether it be back in the states with the 82nd Airborne Division up in Northern Germany with an Armored Division you become part of that unit as an functional part you'll take the observations you support the headquarters to support the people that need the weather and at the same time you're expected to pull your own your own weight around the camp when they're inserted into the field with the team um they will not come out of the field until that team comes out of the field completing their mission so aside from doing their normal duties of getting the weather um in addition they have to survive with that team in the field uh if that team goes on combat missions they're going to have to be able to defend themselves with that team um they're going to have to uh uh be integrated fully uh with that team and whatever they do um and for this of course this requires a little extra uh of the man uh than what would normally be required from a uh a weather Observer we expect that the anyone attached to a Special Forces Unit to include the Air Force weather team to be able to do anything physically that we can do if uh if we took someone Along on a mission or committed someone into an operational area they could not physically stay with the team then they would jeopardize the the mission that they're committed to and uh I think the I can say for the team here they work just as hard as we do at staying ready to go I spend a considerable amount of time jogging and in PT because other than personally enjoying it it gives me a chance to get out see quite a bit of the countryside we've got uh trails that wind in and out of the forest areas Villages that uh look like something out of postcard out of picture books uh tremendously beautiful area in addition to enjoying the running and to using it as a uh mental cleansing function it leads into the PT program that we have here to maintain our ability to deploy with the special forces and to maintain our general physical condition so that we are capable of worldwide deployment they support us on our our drops um they're always uh uh ready whenever we need them the c141 has been the Workhorse of Mac for over a decade now and it has proven itself to be one of the safest most reliable aircraft the Air Force has ever had but before it was accepted into the inventory it went through a period of extensive testing at Edwards Air Force Base California Through The Years Edwards has seen most of the planes that have made it into Air Force service and many that haven't we'd like to take you back now a short step in history to when Edwards was mostly blowing sand and empty [Music] desert it was 1910 when the Corum Family First settled this vast desolate area of California located near Rodriguez dry lake it was so isolated that early homesteaders like the corms were given special consideration by the government just to get them to move [Music] here the corms called this settlement Muro a reverse spelling of the Korum family name from this a community began to grow the flat dry lake beds surrounding Muro were deal for auto racing and some of the earliest speed trials were held [Music] there in 1933 the Army aircore bombing and Gunnery Range was established at what was then called Muro field soon after Colonel Hap Arnold Commander at marchfield California sent his Planes here for Maneuvers on May 11th 1937 the entire Army aircore 200 planes strong participated in war games at Muro field the US had entered World War II the Muro Maru a mock Japanese Cruiser was built to prepare Crews for anti-shipping race meanwhile preparations were being made for the flight of our first jet the XP 59 which took place on October 1st 1942 the jet age had begun in 1947 Captain Chuck joer broke the sound barrier in the Bell X1 rocket plane 1 2 3:00 4:00 rock 5 6 7:00 8: yeah I'm G to mute that Bill Haley although um there's probably other copyrighted stuff that has been showing up was renamed Edwards Air Force Base in 1951 the test pilot school and the Air Force flight test center were established a flying weather and the 65 Square mil of surrounding lake bed provides natural Landing fields for experimental air CRA and those with inlight emergency in addition it 307,000 Acres provides space for a variety of test related functions designed to evaluate various aircraft components and ejection [Music] system series a long line of research Les among them the [Music] X15 now they're playing The Beatles um so I'm definitely muting it modified aircraft the7 triple Sonic bomber was one of the major test programs at [Music] Edwards yf2 Forerunner of the [Music] SR71 following features [Music] C5 the Air Force rocket propulsion laboratory at Edwards develops and tests new and modified system now it's the bgs sophisticated high performance fighter aircraft testing which will benefit new bomber studies and the space shuttle which will provide the nation with a series of reusable space Vehicles Edwards Air Force Base witnessing flight from its earliest days and playing a major role in the development of air power these advances were the result of the courage vision and Ingenuity of its men and women qualities which will one day make space travel in ships like these a [Music] reality that's we go of course so that's the problem with a lot of uh government produced uh films is uh YouTube very quickly points out that no that's uh that's commercial music and they will sometimes remove it sometimes they will just uh take over the monetization sometimes they will uh this hasn't happened recently but sometimes they'll give a copyright strike so that's why I was being a little cautious there um which is frustrating because there was some great stuff in there and the fact that they used uh Bill Haley's rock around the clock and they there was a one before that which I can't remember but then the BG's um oh no the Beatles Day Tripper then the BG's and then Moo's uh Star Wars theme um I don't know if they had what uh like a needle drop uh thing where they could use uh like publishing uh different like this music publishing or they just didn't care my feeling is they just didn't care there's a lot of filmmakers who in that time period who were just like eh whatever uh and there wasn't like a Consolidated way to track that like um you know maybe if it had showed in a feature film and it got lots of you know hundreds of thousands millions of eyes on it maybe that's the case but for stuff like this probably not so much all right anyways more information about copyright um oh yeah it was a public domain day two days ago and uh lots of great stuff fell into public domain I did not celebrate it because this is what happens uh related to copyright when I say o this film is in public domain I show it and immediately YouTube takes it down uh because even though it is legally in public domain uh YouTube has not recognize that yet and there are uh content it ID people who um have uploaded stuff and claimed copyrights and that has not been updated uh so I was like n we won't celebrate that um but we show a lot of public domain stuff so the one great thing about public domain day is it allows people to look back to the 20s and then watch things they probably wouldn't have watched or listen to things they probably wouldn't have listened to so and then I guess you know whenever there's a popular character that falls in the public domain then a not so great horror movie comes out about six months later so there you go all right so this next film uh excuse me uh this is a fascinating film made by the New York Times and it documents when the New York Times went from lead type uh and the type setting equipment used to make it to um using Electronics using computers to um publish and uh it's fascinating and so it documents the whole process and uh also um the title is interesting it's farewell etan uh Sho and uh the those letters are the frequency of letters in the English um language so uh if you're ever playing Wheel of Fortune I always rely on those uh to I'd guess those letters first um anyhow here it is [Applause] [Applause] enjoy for [Music] [Applause] we are fast approaching press time for the first edition of tomorrow morning's paper this printer has just finished makeup of a page in the next 56 minutes all pages must be finished and recorded to meet the addition deadline of 900 p.m. but tonight's deadline is special this New York Times mirror image and lead of tomorrow's date line reads backwards as Sunday July 2nd 1978 it marks the last day of an age-old method of printing in this composing room what you are now witnessing will exist after tonight only as a filmed historic record for the century of of the linotype machine is nearing its end using 535 de molten lead it sets solid lines of type called hot type cast in newspaper column wids now cooled a printer's hands prepare the lines for insertion into a column of the page one headlines are still set by hand with types stored in traditional California cases and in time worn lllo cabinets by morning relics of the past letter by letter the printer forms the words in his composing stick in the same way that Gutenberg the first printer of the western world did more than 5 centuries ago brass molds of letters are assembled in a different composing stick also for headlines inside this lllo machine which was invented a quarter of a century after the linotype they will be cast from liquid lead to form a solid slug of tip by tomorrow this lllo 2 will be a museum piece these steel tables for page makeup are called printer Stones they have been gradually abandoned over the past months a radical change over has taken place for a new era of computerized electronic automated and coal type photo technology has begun it started in the brightly lit area Beyond these two dark hulks of discarded linotype machines now lined up for shipment they have been the old reliables here for decades tonight 60 of the once 140 linotypes the largest battery of any newspaper in the world are on their final stint before the rush to addition time a makeup man spoke to us about this machine you know 100 years ago a man named atar mergener invented a machine called the linotype now it's not a machine that's well known by most people but I find that uh it was the automation of its day the only thing is I think it was the machine that made Mass education possible it brought the price of books within the range of the average working person this is the machine over here and it's PR ically unchanged in 100 years I feel if old man mgen th came back he could probably go over to that machine sit down and set up a couple of gys of type without any problems at all if there were any problems as far as fixing machine I'm sure he could get up and fix it but that's how long that machine has lasted 100 years [Applause] [Applause] it all begins with this machine really three machines in one assembly casting and redistribution in this portion of the machine we keep these brass mattresses which have a letter punched into their Edge in this case the letter M when I press a key these mattresses will fall along this gravity shoot and into the assembler if I press this m you'll see that M come down there it is now when I want to space a word I'll drop in a space Band which is a steel wedge it slides up and down and spreads the line to the exact size that I want in a c column so that every line is exactly equal to the other in width when we send a line into the casting machine this is what happens if we take these mattresses they'll come down and face against this steel mold hot metal molten lead will be poured into that steel mold this mattress will be faced against here with the mold of the mattress against the top the lead will harden and pick up the image from the inside of this mold and this mattress it will turn around through here it will harden it will be trimmed and it will be ejected right here now let's watch a line go in this one's just about ready going across now the bands are spreading the line out now it's the line is being pumped in the hot lead is hardening now it's being trimmed and here's your new line of tip but the real machine is in the back it was a watch who invented it this uniquely shaped eccentric cam is the heart of his entire system as it rotates it programs all the intricate operations of this automatic producer of type for the composing of the paper it makes the linotype machine run like a huge wound up clock ticking with perfect Precision in the meantime these mattresses have been redistributed and transferred into those magazines and we can use them again and again this story is about finished now we can take it over to the bank get a galley proof send it into the proof room for proof reading and when we're finish with that we'll take the type and put it either on a correction bank or maybe directly into the page and wait for the [Applause] corrections these latest machines without keyboards have built-in teletype Setter units instead of fingers on Keys perforated tape does the work like the old music roll in a player piano this enables one person to monitor three machines at once a solid bar or Pig of lead is lowered into the Melting Pot to refill it for Cas sign language is used among the paper's many de printers instead of three lines a minute the old manual way each machine now sets 14 lines a minute it's as far as mechanical automation could go in the pre-electronic age lines of type and picture cuts are made up into full page forms Guided by editor's layout sheets [Applause] where does this thing go all right look you want to make a box out of it yeah stick it up in here somewhere uh we all done here yeah that was all I got um you want to push it around or do you want to end here stick the box down here you want to make a box out of it and then turn this yeah this not the closest cooperation is needed between the page editor and the makeup I got it I got it I got to get it packed in together they almost talk the type into the page form coax it cool it to make it fit as they work against the clock a line back on right everyone is aware of the time I know if I let this P only 40 minutes are left to the 9:00 first edition deadline anything else here from now on a page a minute 40 more pages must be completed locked up in these page forms and ready for the [Applause] presses metal Engravings like [Applause] [Music] these are cut down to size and precisely trimmed [Music] [Applause] [Music] the cuts will print up as the drawings and photos you see in the paper every day the handling of type and cuts is the job of the makeup man while the page editor indicates to him what she wants reading the type upside down in backwards he sees a reverse image of what will be the final printed page and may even catch not look as bad as I thought we let it go for and these two are coming what does say Mone moaning in pain others you had others in there oh others with an S yeah they had an S you know what you do give it out again that's the bad ass a bad ass er only 14 minutes to go everyone feels the urgency [Applause] [Applause] pages are nearing completion makeups tighten keys to bring type and cuts closely together this keeps pieces from falling out when forms are moved off the [Applause] stones this page is about done this one is to say uh this one's going to say rescue workers Milling around around an ice cream truck after and then it's going to say it exploded in lower Manhattan yesterday almost finished all we need is this one the editor sends this one on its way the presses are waiting trucks trains and planes must be met to rush the paper to the city to the country and to the world now this one is on its way and the last one to close is page one [Applause] [Applause] okay on one un time and now a work break and also a party for oldtime linotype operator Albert tangu over 49 years uh being in a a member of the composing room a senior member on a priority list the number one man on the priority list how do you feel about this change over Mr well I feel I feel that uh they call it progress but as far as I'm concerned it it is not I would like stay the way it was know keep the old the old machine running how long have you worked here uh one sh of 49 years how old are you 75 and A2 75 and A2 are you retiring tonight yeah this is the last time you'll be up here let's have a drink on it I'm I'm glad I had so many good friends this worker chalks up his sentiments end of an error good while it lasted crying won't help I find it very sad very sad I uh I've learned the new stuff the new processes and all but I've been a printting out for 26 years I've been in this place for 20 years 6 years apprenticeship 20 years journeyman and these are words that aren't just tossed around they've always meant something to us printers I hate to see it it's inevitable that we're going to go into computers all the knowledge I've acquired over these 26 years is all locked up in a little box now called a computer and I think probably most jobs are going to end up the same way think computers are a good idea in general oh I there's no doubt about it they're going to benefit everybody eventually how long it will take I don't know carefully back on the stone where changes by the news department for the second The Late City Edition a galley of new type for a late breaking story is proofed up to be read for accuracy Corrections are checked lines with errors are replaced by corrected lines okay I won and page one is ready to go again for the new deadline 11:00 p.m. this time we follow it to the making of a stereotype [Applause] mat the mat is a damp sheet of flexible cardboard a solid steel roller we'll press it against the hundreds of separate lines and picture Cuts locked together in this page form 5 minutes to the 11:00 deadline The Stereotype Taps down a spacing lead so that it won't print the mat will soon be curved and dried into a half cylinder form from it curved solid lead plates will be cast the fit on the rotary presses the pressure of 1 ton per square in is forced upon the cardboard the raised lead type presses into the mat forming a mold of recessed letters the mat is now right reading and ready for [Applause] casting all right down into the stereo casting room three stories below street level in The Times building hot lead will now pour into the recessed impressions of type in this curved mat casting starts [Music] these Mammoth Machines are up for sale some will go under the hammer at auction a few will be cannibalized for spare parts [Music] nine identical page plates who run on nine presses at the same time are cooled in these steel chambers before rolling into the Press Room when is this operation going to when going to close up it's going to close up in the [Music] morning how do you feel about it another Innovation a new the new process we're moving into how do you feel about it when I think of these machines costing over $100,000 a piece to be chunked it uh kind of leaves me loose you know this is as far as they could go though uh as far as the automation with the hot metal is as far as the times could go now how what is it going to mean to you personally it means I'll have to learn a new process one after another Into The Press Room warning bells ring when the presses start up page one [Applause] [Music] [Applause] sports these heavy plates on their snaking and crisscrossing tracks are making their final run to the nine presses tonight will the new technology just a few hours away make a big change down here a Pressman shrugs it off instead of using lead 40 lb plates and locking them up instead of using uh these lead plates what we do is use a plastic plate that only weighs a few ounces and it's it just goes on a cylinder it is a magnetic bar that holds it on so you just get the hang of putting it on that's all the rest of the job won't change significant page one man cheering greets the last time that a 40 lb half cylinder plate of lead will ever again be mounted on these [Applause] presses scrap on the previous press ride is cleared from the conveyor they carry the finished papers up to the street level above now the last reversal from wrong reading typed to the final in right reading printed page [Music] it all started on the line of type machine upstairs and it ends up here and the presses keep rolling through the night this is goodbye generations of linotype operators have often run their fingers down the first two rows of keys releasing mats that read 8 ton shlo this fills out lines that start with keyboard errors the last bad line is discarded at the end of the story motor off a last Touch of familiar brass mats light out for good it is the end of the age of hot type mechanical Printing and the beginning of the new to computerized coal type the electronic these seasoned printers retrained have made the transition from the old to the new the electronic images of letters that I have just set on this video display screen I'll now send to the computer where it is processed stored and brought back when required for Corrections back to the computer when needed a touch of a keep returns it to the editor it is then changed to the desired column width style size of type and hyphenation followed by further keyboarding of headlines and by lines then to one of five photo type sets each an electronic Miracle inside a web of components and wiring does the work of 140 Lin types generating a vast array of electronic type images on a concealed cathode ray [Applause] tube these images are contacted onto photosensitive paper at 1,000 lines a minute emerging from the dark room the photosensitized paper has now been transformed by a developing machine into photographic cold type ready for full page paste up this productivity leap from 14 to 1,000 lines of minute is made possible several floors above by a battery of computers these units contain magnetized memory discs and electronic digital systems which store and process all the data Sent From Below switches and buttons at a touch bring us into an Ever advancing world of Automation computerization and programmed electron flow humidity and temperature monitored and controlled Around the Clock are critical these cabinets hold layered packs of yellow magnetic discs and others like this the discs in operation spin at 140 m an hour more than 8 million words can be stored and sent back by each dis pack and cold type on paper keeps on flowing photo technology has conquered hot metal the typ set paper is cut waxed on the back for adhesion and paste it up on full page boards on these tables that'll bring the type down to here it's going be new type here yes that's going to go deeper mhm okay cor right that's holding it thank you J right from obituaries to sports to the worlds of business entertainment real estate classified and display advertising and of course the news these color patches will soon be replaced by headlines they are now being cut to exact size no more molten lead he has made it from hot type makeup to cold type paste up the last headline in place ready to go page one will now be transferred electronically through impulses from this laser scanner machine to the plate room underground in a moment the laser beam within will scan the pasted up page this will result in 14 o flexible plastic plates made and used down below in The Press Room page after page will be run off on the high-speed rotary presses as before and fold it into the finished paper but despite Automation computerization and the continuing advances of electronics the central factor is still the work of the human brain the work of human eyes and the work of human hands in creating that powerful element of communication a printed word well that was epic um thank you Kevin and for donating via the super thanks button uh that's one way you can support us for showing things like this uh the the takeaway from this is just think about how many human eyes looked at every single line of what was printed and compare that to now like how many people are looking at something before it is made public and published published um you know there's countless people that were looking and for editorial purposes for spelling for factual information um and that that's not even there now and you know that last little bit of the human communication if we talk about AI uh which will just take little blips of facts and then spit out something um you know the there's no is there any any human interaction with that where someone is editorially looking at the content uh certainly with comments uh no um I would say that uh comments on news sites have been uh horrible really really bad because they don't have editorial uh oversight uh we don't have a whole lot of editorial oversight here on the comments on our uh streaming show but we do try to keep it uh keep it rained in and I think that we've all benefited from that uh we have cultivated a wonderful community of people who like are like-minded and share uh an interest in these old films and that's editorial oversight uh so that's Rick K that's myself and there's others uh who are just looking and making sure that every all the comments are you know we're not picking on each other we're all kind of staying on topic Etc so um yeah I I think I'm nervous I'm nervous for the future of communication uh because there's no human uh oversight in some of this information
