I recommend everyone watch Farewell Etaoin Shrdlu. It's a fascinating documentary filmed on the last day the New York Times using hot metal type, galleys, printer's stones, etc. https://vimeo.com/127605643 https://vimeo.com/127605643 "A film created by Carl Schlesinger and David Loeb Weiss documenting the last day of hot metal typesetting at The New York Times. This film shows the entire newspaper production process from hot-metal typesetting to creating stereo moulds to high-speed press operation. At the end of the film, the new typesetting and photographic production process is shown in contrast to the old ways." Pretty interesting to see the then-new computer typesetting technology and how primitive it was compared to computers today.
