Can't help one more off topic reminisce: I remember these. They didn't come close to your tape speeds though. The paper moved along at 50 bauds and stopped at each traction hole where 5 small steel rods pressed upwards to see if a hole had been punched. The Company I worked for taught us trainees to read the paper tape at 25 wpm and to type for the emerging telex service. The typing has remained useful 50 odd years later and the general principles of transmission and PCM that is still useful in the squeezebox era. Lenkurt Demodulator was a fantastic magazine and I used to have bound copies of many years but sadly they have disappeared. The Creed 54 teleprinter was so heavy that it took two fit young men to carry it round the office. 32555 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: 6S6M.JPG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=32555| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ *Music Store and VPN Server: *Synology DS215J NAS *Study Server:* Pi 4B pCp 6.1.0/LMS 8.0.1 *Refurbished 1962 RCA Stereo Console Server/Player *LMS 8.0.1 on Pi 4B pCp 6.1.0/IQ Audio DAC+ *LAN Players: x2:* pCp 6.1.0 on Pi 3B /IQ Audio DAC+ *LAN Player/ADC* pCp 6.1.0 on Pi3B/IQ audio Codec + *PC Players: x2: *Squeezelite on Windows 10 PC. *VPN Mobile & Car Player:* Material/SqueezePlayer on Android Phone ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ian_heys's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2629 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113437 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
