Probably not what you expected from the Subject line, but I think it's fascinating. I'm doing some research about the technical history of printing newspapers for work. The hot metal Linotype machines were an amazing bit of technology. I'm talking about a three ton Swiss watch here. I can see why many papers were loath to give the process up.
