arrive, they have to be tested andone mistake means 'all over again:Then the material is passed to the
Dutch, English, French, Germanand Spanish editors who providethe matching texts and iIIustrati-ons. Manuscripts are returned tothe lab for a check on technical
aspects. Meanwhile drawings are
produced in Elektor style (welldone Marty) and with these fini- Lshed, DTPassembles the text andillustrations into an 'SC item: whichis handed to the editors for finalcorrections.
