I took vocational printing in high school. We had a linotype machine but we never got to use it because they were training an older man to work in a printing shop. I once found some printing blocks in a dump of a cartoon that used to run in our local newspaper. I gave them to my boys and I don't know what ever happened to them.
I used to run a Linotype back in the Dark Ages. If something went wrong it would squirt molten lead out the front... Then you had the fun of melting the squirted lead off with a propane torch. Your slug might be one line of an obituary.
Making a guss that the last word would be 'afternoon', you can get a few search hits from newspaper archives around the world. All seem to be from official notifications and like. So if some official business was always made at same time it would make sense to have this kind of block ready..just add the date.
