At 6:34 on the video of the 6MX, the "perfect rectangle" find is a piece is spacing that would be used to separate words whilst composing type for a newspaper or magazine. A compositor would have used such a piece along with various other thicknesses to justify each line. The notch along the bottom forms the two "feet" which is how the piece would sit within the line. Nice review by the way. Ewan.
