{"value"=>"<p>Documentary film produced, written and directed by David Loeb Weiss. \"Etaoin shrdlu\" are the first two rows of letters on a linotype machine keyboard, and the film is a tribute to those machines. It documents the changeover at The New York Times from the hot-type linotype process to a cold-type computerized system and records the final day of hot type at the newspaper, July 2, 1978. Includes footage of machine operators discussing their feelings about the replacement of the traditional printing process and their training in a new electronic system.</p>"}
