Speaking of what's not being used much anymore....

Good replies. Forgot to mention the name of test charts, the old timers will remember these names: sel-drum, Ames supply and Densigraphix (still around in Canada)

Ames was a good company, was my go to place back in the day for parts, platt tool cases, tools, vacs, etc. One of the only places us Indy's could get aftermarket parts back in the 80's.

I still have my Ames softsided tool-case with some Ames tools that I use to this day.

I always cut my A3 test chart in half as it then took twice as long to lose it!

Re. Not used much any more:
A 4" (that's a 100mm for Y-Gen) steel ruler to measure corona wire height when restringing CANON corona frames. Not forgetting the front and rear side of the corona wire were set a slightly different heights to compensate for Ion current dissipation along the OPC drum.

I still have a spool of corona wire on my desk..................

I never want to restring a corona wire again !!!

Seriously, I have actually restrung a few coronas within last year. Both times on a Kip 3000 wide format. Mind you the coronas are 3 feet long on a wide format! That's a lot of wire wasted when they keep breaking as you restring the corona. Usually breaks at least once. Most important part is not to turn loop on end too many times. It will weaken the string and snap, then start all over!

FYI, If God don't like you he will send you to hell where you will spend an eternity stringing old Canon corona wire "grids". The old timers will know what I'm talking about.

Have a great memorial weekend......
