Pica Pole Macro - a photo on Flickriver

Pica Pole Macro

             Tucson, Arizona, Dec 12, 2020  — Growing up in a newspaper & printshop a pica pole was an every-day-carry item for a very long time. Their use extended from the days of lead type with upper and lower cases to the days of cut and paste with exacto knives and hot wax. I can’t get the memory of a pica poles sticking out of the back pockets of all the hard-working people of the production room. They also make a great tool to extend your reach. How else do you retrieve that piece of paper stuck in the middle of a printing press?
