One of my first jobs, in the 1970's, was proofreading names, addresses and account numbers for a printer that printed and bound check books. The print was done by linotype, it was fascinating to watch.

Each tray of type would be melted and the metal reused--I was probably breathing lead fumes all day, as the proofreaders were not far from the linotype machines.
