When I was at Wyton, the used Molfax charts were stored in a cupboard

Dreadful stuff - IIRC the satfax paper was even more loaded with chemicals. There used to be a brown stain on the ceiling over the satfax machine in many offices I inhabited. Heaven knows if there are any health implications for us humans.
