I think using your own IQ number as a username is quite cute.

No. It’s how many seconds pass between each tug of his forelock.

He used to be a printer so it's probably some print type, setting or such like.

I'll Google it and get back to youse asap.
Wiki says this
With certain letterpress units it is also possible to join movable type with slugs cast using hot metal typesetting. In theory, anything that is "type high" or .918 inches can be printed using letterpress.

I knew, when .918 first started posting on this board, that he must have had printing or typesetting connections. I was a hot metal
