During down times at the pressroom, one of my favorite time wasters was 
to punch the "eject" button on the back of the Speed Graphic flashgun 
to propel used #5 flashbulbs into a wastebasket.  A seasoned pro could 
sink 9 out of ten at 10 feet.  That's a form of fun lost to subsequent 
generations.
