The third-floor newsroom at The Times is being remodeled, and workers have exposed the wooden blocks underneath the ratty green carpet (c. 1982) that’s older than some of paper’s reporters.  The third floor used to be the Linotyping room, and the old typesetting machines required a heavy industrial floor.  The only Linotype machine left is on display in the Globe Lobby. Another one used to be stored in the basement of the parking structure, but it’s gone.

    I work at the News & Advance in Lynchburg, Va., and we have a Linotype machine in a glass case in the newspaper’s lobby. It’s amazing to look at.
