knockers
A name given bindery workers around the turn of
the century who jogged (knocked) and stacked
sections as they came from the folding machines.
Knocking up sections, in which some 15,000 workers
were employed in the United States at the turn of
the century, was one of the last hand operations
in the large edition bindery. (89 )
