According to her stories, my wife's first husband was color blind, and she was putting him through school to be... a graphic artist!!!  :scared:  His color acuity was so bad she had to pick out his clothes for him every morning in order to not look like a fool.

Not neccessarily an issue if he was a typeface designer or worked in black and white. Heck, it's all about concept anyhow. The color work could be completed by a junior associate.

I just printed up a few things this weekend. I hope to get even more printed up over the long weekend.

Back in the '80's I was a QC inspector and most of my day was spent inspecting pc board assemblies that had color-banded resistors. We had to have an annual color-blindness test.  One year, a co-worker failed the test - after passing it for several years prior.  Turns out he knew all along that he was color-blind but had successfully guessed and passed the test for years.

Rather than being fired for falsifying records (like his job application) he was given a desk job filing data.

Original files. I’m printed them up for Baldylox’s Etsy shop. We have some cool kits that will be getting printed in the next couple of weeks for the MOW fans out there.

What model are those FEL ?  I need some large FEL for the mine, loading CAT 777F and 43' Ornter hoppers.

It’s based of a CAT 966.
