When I was in junior high school we learned to set type (letters
molded in lead, for you young-uns) in shop class.
We used several mnemonics to find the letters in the trays:
Be Careful Driving Elephants Into Small Ford Garages
Vampires Usually Take A Ride
Does anyone know some mnemonics for the remaining letters?
(My high school had a LinoType[1], which was another beast altogether.)

"In fourteen hundred and ninety two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue...and
half of that is the number of watts in a horsepower." --Old engineering
mnemonic from my father's generation.
