A Look Inside The Space Shuttle’s First Printer

There was even a day not too long ago when printers appeared to be going the way of the dodo; remember the “paperless office” craze? But then, printer manufacturers invented printers so…

I have connected the HP 4952A to the worldwide telex network. I also set up a local connection to the teleprinter.

Check out the video on YouTube with nice teleprinter sound! :)

Back in the 1960's, some office #teleprinter s had a 'phone dial for entering #Telex numbers; their alphabetic keytops were usually circular or oval. Expensive hybrid models even had a handset for voice calls.

I'd not be surprised to discover one in a future #TARDIS.

The Turing Test (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

My first experience with a computer was typing out simple #BASIC commands, line by line, on a dumb #teleprinter -- no display monitor. This gadget was connected to a plain old telephone line, which dialed a local switchboard, which connected (at $2 per minute) to a Digital #PDP11 #minicomputer.

If you made a typo, backspacing was verboten. There was no whiteout option. And you certainly could not cursor up and down a scroll of dot-matrix paper.

Ah, memories.
