I was referencing audio recording studios, not home theaters playing

all.

I have never been in an anechoic chamber. I have fired guns and cherry
bombs out on the lake where there is nothing to echo from. Unfamiliar
flat sound. Not much echo from grass either.

Are you nut

Not from calm water back toward the boat. No corners no return. In any
case, you can clearly hear the difference. I used to officiate
sailboat races and had a 12 gauge starter gun.

Sorry, but you are just plain wrong, dude. I used to paddle out onto a
lake to play my saxophone, and record it there on a Nagra reel-to-reel
- specifically for the unique reverberations found on a still lake.
You should have worn ear protection when firing that starter pistol.
It damaged your hearing.

Reverb from what?

Tom, maybe you need to get out of the house more often.

Not today, we have an ice storm and branches coming down all over the
place!

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.



My Navy experience started out as a Radioman and I was among 3 of the
first non-rated people to attend the Navy's teletype repair school in
Norfolk. ( I later converted to electronics in a Navy technical
education program).

Anyway, the Navy method of teaching stuff is sometimes amazing. I had
never seen a 100 wpm teletype machine in my life. At the end of the six
week school, I (and all the other graduates) could completely
disassemble the thing and it's hundreds of parts including gears,
clutches, pawls, shafts, etc., spread out all over the place and then
reassemble it, make all the necessary adjustments and it worked.
Thinking about modern computers, one can see the direct relationship
and evolution of Morse code to 8 bit teletype machines to this new, 64
bit Vista powered computer. It's an amazing advancement of technology
to witness in 40 years or so.

First big KSR33 I saw when I first got out of high school I worked in the
Western Electric warehouse. Guy is taking down a KSR33 from the top of
the racks and somebody forgot to strap it to the pallet. Takes a 20-25'
nose dive to spread parts everywhere. Cool. Later NCR use a light duty
receive only teletype as the console printer on the CPU. Ran 24/7. We
got good at rebuilding those units. The oilite bushings would partly cut
the main shaft about every 2 months at most. Was originally designed to
turn on only when a message came in. Bad engineering.

Hmmm. Sounds strange. When I worked for Teletype Corp we had M33's
running for years idling, with occasional printing. it was design for
light duty printing, not light duty power on.


do not remember the model. Been 40 years. But was designed to turn on when
a message came in.

Designed to turn the motor on.
