Ah yes, 
TELETYPE machines!  I love them...  I used to copy the  RTTY beacon of 
AO-13
on my  model 28.

We used to receive many pictures "off the wire"  at work, and along with
the hard
copy,  reperforate a tape of some of them.    Some of them were really 
wonderful
and I have a few still rolled up in a cardboard tube in the archives.

I was fairly active on RTTY until it got all computerized.  There's
something about 
those machines that I liked.  The writing coming out on the screen just
isn't the
same!

Teletype machines, paper tape, and all that stuff was the bread and
butter of my 
career at the telegraph company for about 25 of the 31 years that I
worked there.

73,
John, K6YK
