From: =?iso-8859-10?Q?=e6strid?=have you ever seen an ascii chart meant to be carried in your wallet?
fops Now On Merping Synth Download@astrid omg i should recreate that in an svg
@astrid do you happen to have better pictures of it? does someone recognize the typefaces used? that'd help a lot

Bert Driehuis@chfour @astrid Unfortunately, the scans are too low resolution to get a proper id on the fonts. I can exclude Helvetica though (The "R" is a dead giveaway). The header font is different from the fonts in the table, the callouts and the ruler. Given the period, it may well have been composed using dry transfer lettering with whatever font was available. The sans serifs are probably two of the many American gothic typefaces of the time.

Axel Hartmann@astrid but - but - it says right there it's not ASCII, it's ASPTCII
Russ Keegstra@astrid I used to have an RS232 card in my wallet.
Phil Haigh@astrid one of the hobby computer magazines in the UK gave away little reference cards for a few months in the very early 80’s. They included such gems as the pinout and signal timings for a parallel printer port, and separately, RS-232. Postcard sized, mind, not business card.
zxm@astrid of course you carried that card in your wallet. for emergencies. you never know when you'll encounter EBCDIC :-P
Bernard Quatermass@astrid my big wallet still has one. Honeywell serial terminal on the back.
