I don't mean to hijack this thread, but the duplicating machine pictured twice, above, is NOT a mimeograph machine. It is a SPIRIT DUPLICATOR. A mimeograph forced ink through a fine mesh "master." The spirit duplicator...my first few years of teaching, we had to hand-crank it...used methanol [or maybe ethanol...I don't remember] to remove a very slight bit of "wax" from the "master" and let it print onto the paper. Those worksheets ALWAYS smelled great!

Good call.
According to Wiki, the fluid was composed of a mixture of methanol and isopropanol.
Johnny works on a freshly printed spirit duplicator worksheet, sticks his fingers in his nose, proceeded by mouth and then eats lunch without washing his hands.
