Good link, George.

It looks like the pics were all part of an old web site.

Very good overview of the letterpress operation at the Washington Post.

As a follow-up from George's posting, I've taken the more hot-metal-related pictures from the web album, and made them into a video presentation.

The video lasts about nine minutes and there are over 130 photos in it.

Some of the pictures are a little lacking in quality as it looks like some may have been scanned in from old newspapers and some seem to have been very heavily compressed.

However, overall, I think they give an excellent overview of a large letterpress newspaper operation.
