bboy_mn:

By golly, you are right. I was referring to the ones with the alcohol
(spirit ether) smell and the odd blue colored ink. In our case, they
were almost always hand written.

Of course, it's been years, but I was assuming that mimeographs and
DITTO's were the same thing. However, the indeed are not (I reseached it).
