The roll may or may not be continuous as it is known to have been taped together here and there." Jack Kerouac was known to have used butcher shop paper. He could type well over 100 wpm and with his style of "Stream of Consciousness" writing he could just close his eyes and hammer away, not having to worry about pulling and resetting page after page. Quite the opposite of Thomas Wolfe who wrote by hand standing up and dropped each competed page into a good sized trunk eventually delivering the trunk to his Editor Max Perkins. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
