So, what kind of office did you dad have at the time that he could get along without electrics (which had been available since before WWII).

There was a vigorous rebuild trade at the time ~ I bought a rebuilt tank like hunk of iron that was stable enough to do straight lines of type. Built my forearms like nobody's business, but that and factory jobs to pay for college also helped.

My office still has hand stamps and not some contraption that is rigged to give all three hand stamps in the same position. :0)

I strongly recommend YOU do some research before relying on your recollections. I did and found you were wrong in generalizing based on your own recollections of events a long time ago.
