Those things were cool!

I had a classmate in grade school (60's) whose dad owned a couple
radio stations. And I rememeber touring the place and they had one of
those things going 24/7 .

That was a direct hookup to UPI and it would sit there and chucg along,
then in came the news. and it would take off typing and chugging at the
same time.

I thought it was magic! At that time, I couldn't figure out how a
semi-mechanical typewriter could work over a telephone line.

Gene is correct. KSR35's are long gone.

Here's a pictu

http://home.arcor.de/ccmuseum/oldtimer/teletype.jpg

My first job out of college was at Teletype Corp in 1964. First
assignment was manufacturing engineering on the M35/33/32 product line.
Shortly after that began analog design work on subsequent Teletype
products beginning with the M40.


Hated the 33 (or 31`?) 2nd mainframe I worked on they used the 33 as the
console I/O writer and left it running 24/7. Was designed as a light duty
message terminal that ran maybe 10 minutes a day. Crap to rebuild!

Yep, M33. There wasn't a M31.

Models 35 (heavy duty) and 33 (light duty) use 8 level ASCII code and the
Model 32 (light duty) is 5 level Baudot.

Teletype Corp was owned by the old Western Electric and of course part of
the old AT&T/Bell System. Models 32 and 33 were the first machines that
didn't have 20 years life requirement as all Western Electric stuff did in
those days.

When I got out of HS, I worked 6 months in a Western Elect warehouse in San
Leandro. One of the highpoints was watching a KSR35 take a dive from about
35' high when the forklift truck picked up the pallet of the top rack and
the unit was not strapped down. Only thing missing was flames to go with
hundreds of parts flying about.
