We had one at Bell Labs and was really an eerie feeling being in
there.
It
was used while measuring sound output levels from our equipment for

Were you at Bell up here, Duck?
Back in maybe '79 met a friend of a friend who worked at Bell
on a team developing a new computer language. C.
I was still in college and trying to figure out assembler.
My brother got dumped out of Lucent when they went down the tubes
what - 6-7 years ago?
Geez, how the landscape has changed.

Worked for Teletype Corp that eventually morphed into Bell Labs and
moved
on
out to Naperville. Many friends of mine were caught up in the Lucent
fiasco.

I ever tell you my Dad had a beast of a Teletype machine in his radio
shack? Surplus military thing - bigger than a freakin' washing
machine.

Yep, you've mentioned it. I had a M28 ASR years ago when I was active.

I honestly don't know what the model number of Dad's machine was -
all's I know it was huge. It might have been that one - I'll Google
it and see.

Eh - can't say really. I thnk it might have been. Looks similar.

Here's one version of M28 ASR

That's it.

Wow - where did you find that?
