Cheap school wouldn't replace the ribbons until just the character imprints were hardly visible. |

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. D.Duck wrote: "JohnH" wrote in message ...

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! |

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. |
