Research point: history of printing/typography

I remember that my customer who printed news showed me a very old machine which they used 8 years ago. I did not know anything about it but one notion was interesting. The text was build by hot metal. They gave it name: devil machine. Of coarse it was Linotype machine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linotype_machine . I am still amazed that man was able to build such as machine.
