The following table reproduces the first three entries of the first log book used at Dumont Press Graphix in January 1972.

Date	Time	Int
Jan 18	6:45 pm	EH	Set up the logbook. Everybody better use it!
	6:59 pm	SI	I REFUSE to use it!!
approx	9:00	MC	How about a clock so we can put down the right time.

Such data raises the question of whether this “dialogue” demonstrates typical behaviour or psychological needs on the part of the individuals involved, which may have plagued them further into their adult lives. Would anyone else care to offer a diagnosis? (E.g., that the third person implied that the first two lied about the precise time of their entry?)
If this strikes your interest, please let me know if you would like to see a transcription of pages two and three of this log book, wherein a Saturday night shift collectively express concern about the difficulties of co-ordinating production (without the hindrance of bosses), and wax philosophical about the relationship between efficiency and communication. Also included in their epistle: details of the now long-forgotten technology under which these poor workers suffered.
