Rest time at the printing shop. There are still rollers to clean, ink to run, papers to throw away. The novice checks some handles and reads pressure gauges, analogue meters and sometimes even picks up some solid types of lead from the ground and pours them back into the foundry. He still hasn't worked much today. The cleanliness of his clothes gives him away. That happens when your father is the foreman, but not enough. Intellectuals and businessmen rule here. Soon he will have to camouflage himself behind some ink and grease stains. It's the printing press or loading flour at the docks. Easy decision.
Tiempo de descanso en la imprenta. Aún quedan rodillos por limpiar, tinta que correr, papeles que desechar. El novato comprueba algunas manijas y lee manómetros, contadores analógicos y a veces hasta recoge algunos tipos de plomo macizo del suelo y los vuelve a echar en la fundición. Aún no ha trabajado demasiado el día de hoy. Lo limpio de su ropa lo delata. Eso pasa cuando tu padre es el capataz, pero no lo suficiente. Aquí mandan los intelectuales y los negociantes. Pronto él tendrá que camuflarse detrás de algunas manchas de tinta y de grasa. Es la imprenta o cargar harina en los muelles. Fácil decisión.
