The relays were from WECO. Made by the millions, they were the ones used in all Bell telephone exchanged from the early 50's up to the ESS (electronic) exchanges. Remember seeing ones with less then a full compliment of contacts, but that was pretty uncommon. https://archive.org/details/bstj31-6-

Once you convert from Bell to English things make a bit more sense. One has to have a understanding of analog engineering terms but this oldie pretty much works the same as any Hayes etc modems. The Modulator takes digital 1/0 levels and converts to one of two sine wave frequencies. The Limiter,

The relays are for controlling the modes function/mode. For example if the unit is put in local mode, or when an incoming call is "Answered" the motor will start running. On Tue, May 9, 2017 at 8:22 AM, Anders Nelson via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > Good lord, is that a pile of rela

Wikipedia is wrong a lot of times. Usually in the details. Modem or MOdulator DEModulator had to come about when one could finally put a modulator (voltage or current loop) in and get a modulated signal out, and the reverse, and thirdly all the control circuitry to automate things. Long before th

It would depend on what you wanted to emulate. The 'logic' you see in the relays and here https://goo.gl/photos/4sDv7MGRvknugiAGA Would be very easy. The logic is to handle auto answer, carrier detect, motor control, local vs remote loop etc. All the things that were miniaturized by Penrill and

The C version came later with the introduction of ASCII ( 5 to 8 bits ) and 110 baud. So it does not go back to the 50's. I do not know when the C version was released. The ASCII Teletype Model 35 was introduced in 1961. -pete On Tue, May 9, 2017 at 6:47 AM, Paul Koning wrote: > > > On May

So Wikipedia is wrong, since it claims that it was introduced in 1958 for ASCII and 110 Baud. Then again, 101/103 modem modulation doesn't care about speed (it isn't clocked) up to a limit of 300 baud or so. I wonder if there is also terminology here: what we now call a "modem" was earlier cal
