Same year I enlisted. We could not shoot the M-14 on full-auto in basic training, as I can only imagine the potential casualties. I only shot it on auto on Sunday afternoons when we would take it and my Thompson off the coast of Nha Trang for some pleasure shooting.
Ah! the old Kleinshmidt Teletype machines! For most of my Army career we used those, could type ninety words a minute on them. They would type onto tape ready for transmission via a td4. All ex US surplus
Here are three prints that I made this month from glass plate negatives in my little collection...

I was given some glass plate negs last July and I ought to have posted them here. There are others which I have yet to scan, but this was the best one of the bunch, as far as exposure and condition was concerned:

The clarity on that plate is beautiful.
Quite. Someone knew what they were doing!
Here's a 4x5 glass plate negative that I printed last Sunday. I bought it on eBay from a seller in Austin, TX.
