Re: VMs: Photostat Machines

[William Edmondson <w.h.edmondson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

The VM material held in the BM has some photographic copies - not very 
good - and the name of the company is embossed on some of the prints as 
I recall (I am currently in Lyon at a Semiotics meeting and cannot check 
my notes - I expect Nick P can add detail).  This material appears to 
have been V's (there is other stuff on Newbold).

What troubles me about V's use of chemicals is that it is surely 
unethical/unprofessional to treat a MS that way - unless the chemicals 
were known to be very benign and 'self-cancelling' in effect with time.
