This is sort of off topic, but I've always been fascinated by old time papers. How did they set they type to print out the pages? Don't tell me they did it letter by letter. How did they do this day after day? It must have been time consuming as hell. I remember taking printing in High School back in the 1970s and our teacher showed us how to set type using metal letters that were stamped backwards, but it never occurred to me they might have done the same for newspapers which is mind boggling.
