I think that if your teletype machine or any part of it gets as hot as  
the lead in a typsetter, then your machine is in big trouble!  heheh.

I remember a boy scout trip to the local newspaper where they used hot  
lead to cast cylindrical press "plates" to print the paper that we got  
every day. They Also used hot lead in the typsetting process to create  
cardboard-like molds to make the "plates". Vivid memory from a LONG  
time ago!
