Re: Melbourne 1910

Ah yes William. The simplicity of that cable tram shunt at the Elizabeth Street terminus. Also, with the typographical pedant hat on, the title at the start with the line MELBOURNE in caps is a typo nightmare--you should never capitalise cursive characters, because they appear to the eye as individual characters, and not as a word! Some good examples of this are tattoo shops putting cursive caps onto people's skin permanently and bikers walking around with their club name emblazoned on their jackets in Old English (gothic text) caps. The latter is totally unreadable!!!!!!!! Below are sample lines of a gothic text set in upper and lower case and another in all caps. Which is easier to read?

Cheers,
Andew Cook (pedantic typo, who accepts that many of the more modern cursive founts are readable in capitals).

For those that haven’t seen this before.

Old film of Melbourne from 1910 with lots of cable tram footage. 5 mins and 45 seconds we see the trailer running around the dummy at the Flinders Street terminus of Elizabeth St.
