Linotype Operator
Once a popular job, the Linotype Operator was responsible for setting a hot metal typesetting system used in the production of newspapers in the late 1880s. After phototypesetting was created in the early 1960s the job was quickly replaced. These days, the newspaper is produced on computers and sent to digital newspaper printers where production is quickly completed. This was actually a very large industry utilized all around the world until modern technology swooped in and left thousands of people unemployed.
