    A galley or galley proof is a printed sheet of paper used in a print shop by printers to proof-read and make corrections of an article or book before final printing.

    In this context, it appears that "he" made comments to Baran on something regarding the paper sheets (galleys) which were used to proof-read Baran's article.
