It was used while measuring sound output levels from our equipment for the government 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. -- "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats." H. L. Mencken |
