For anyone in NYC who’s into engineering, typography, and printing, there’s a gigantic Linotype machine at the Museum of the City of New York right now in the Analog City exhibit. Very cool to see in person.

There’s also an insane video of how they used to make “hot type” printing plates for the New York Times. Mind blowing to watch, even if you’re already familiar with the process from reading about it.
