1981 Internet story

The selectric was an improvement over the NCR 315 console which was
originally an IBM typewriter pre Selectric with solenoids to trip the
hammer. Then we had on the later model a Teletype receive only
terminal
that was super light duty, that was designed to turn on only while a
message was being received. We ran the shafts in oilite bushings
24/7. Cut
grooves in the shaft. PIA to rebuild.

I worked on both of them. The Model B was easier to keep going.

---------------------------------

I still have my "Doctor of Teletype Technology" card that the Navy
issued when graduating from Teletype repair school in Norfolk.
Never really worked on them much due to going into another Navy school
program, but I was briefly the only person on my first ship that had
been to the school. I was also the first of three non-rated people
who received orders to the school directly after RM "A" school.
Caused a lot of ill feelings among others in the class who were
typically E-5's and E-6's who had to re-enlist in order to get the
school.

Mod 28 ASR machines running at 110 wpm.
