Are there any PDF's available of this last manual typeset edition of the NYT for viewing online?

Apparently[1] it was the July 1, 1978 edition: https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1978/07/01/iss... (NYT subscription reqd)

It's actually July 2nd 1978, which was produced the night of July 1st.

After about the 11 minute mark the footage shows them working on the front page of the July 1 issue. Looks like they didn't shoot it all in one evening.
