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.
