I used a Pacesetter computerized photo typesetting machine…. No lead!I worked for Linotype for many years and an upshot photo-type company for a few years.
Mostly taking old "hard" type drawings to reconfigure for photo-setting masks.
Each of about 250 characters per font had to be redrawn at around 100X and film cut.

Once Adobe started supplying fonts to them the change was unbelievably positive.
