Reading about Dr. Bown reminded me of another story about him. If you recall, we had a number of wet toner copying machines in our lab--for testing the paper masters you were developing, with John Rahimi as your tech. There was one tabletop copier on the end of the bench near Tony Calamia's desk that was notorious for eating originals. I guess copy machine technology was not what it is today. I was alone in the lab one day when Dr. Bown came in, wanting to use one of our copiers to copy some of his hand-written, original notes. He went directly to that copier; and, before I could warn him, fed it his original work. In this case, "fed" is the right word, because the sounds that came from that machine left no doubt that it was enjoying the meal.
Poor Dr. Bown's face paled and his jaw dropped; but not a single bad word was uttered.

As you recall Dr. Bown was a devoted Mormon and as such he lived a clean life, no alcohol, no tobacco, no bad word. So this episode vividly portray his way of living.
Yes the modern copiers , even the lowest cost ones, are made so that the original never goes inside the machine. There must have been people, unlike Dr. Bown, who voiced their frustration louder in a colorful languages!
