Rolls of paper and UPPER-CASE ONLY. 110 baud, which gave you 10 characters per second. The Hazeltine "glass teletype" was a great improvement, at 300 baud, no paper, and real lower-case. 80 x 25, but the bottom line was its own status. The reason for 80, BTW, was that is the capacity of a keypunch card. Used them too. The VT-100 was *much* later. ;-) -- Jeremy H.
