Tennyson"; 2-pp. report, "Reasons for a new composing room," on oversized, sturdy paper, and signed "al tennyson"; multi-page, text & photo essay from Amer. Newspaper Publishers Assn., Mechanical Bulletin, 2/28/1950, "Composing Room short-cuts." Tennyson was clearly a vital cog in the smooth operation of the composing room. He retired 1/1/1968, after a 47-year association with LAT, and consulted for some time after that.
