@Ghislaine@poa.st I think I watched this one. It was pretty cool, because it goes into the history of some inventor's lost prototype and the attempts to recreate his designs. The ways they did printing before he started making his stuff was actually insane: they had catalogs of characters and would just select and arrange them by hand in a press. He somehow figured out how to reduce them to their radicals, then modify how they get applied in order to basically type almost any character with only a few extra keys.
