I remember seeing linotypes in operation at a Hirschfeld Printing in Denver, which is now out of business. They were fascinating to watch. On the other hand, if you happened to choose, oh, ten-point Spartan, then discovered that it looked a bit small, you had to have the whole item reset. And wrapping lines around illustrations was not simple.
