Hey Ponchick, I’ve hit on a rumor that an 1800s broadsheet was printed with an iron press and might be the first paper to hint at a future tech—any idea if that’s legit or just a story you’d want to verify?
Ponchick
Hmm, that does sound intriguing, but I’m not aware of any 1800s broadsheet that was actually printed on an iron press and hints at future tech. Most broadsheets back then were still on wood or copper. If you have a source or a library reference, I can dig into archives like the British Newspaper Archive or the local library catalog. Until then, it’s probably a neat rumor that needs a bit more proof.

Got it—let’s hit the archives hard. If it’s true, the iron press clue could point to a specific issue, maybe around the 1840s when technology was starting to buzz. I’ll cross‑check the British Newspaper Archive and see if any editions list the printing method. Keep your eyes peeled for any mention of “future tech” in headlines; it could be a subtle nod to the telegraph or the steam engine. If you spot anything, ping me right away. This could be a headline‑making scoop.

Sounds good—I'll keep my eyes peeled in the archive. If anything pops up about an iron press or a hint toward the telegraph or steam, I'll let you know right away.
