Default what tranny means

In the context of print production, it means 'transparency' (at least in my
part of the world). Not much needed any more, but there was a time when
creating a publication meant dealing with the text and graphics separately.
You created the text artwork as black-on-white, and glued in blocks of red
(called 'ruby') where the graphics were to go. Then that was photographed to
create a large negative. Then the 'trannies' (the graphics, photographed
separately) were stripped in.
