#16: I actually WAS a Teletype mechanic back in the days of paper tape message storage! 5-level, 75 baud... That tape looks like a stock ticker tape...
No, that's eight-level tape, same as on the Teletype 33 ASR I used to use. ASCII, 110 baud, 10cps on both punch and mechanical reader. Or a lot faster on an optical reader. You could write your name etc. on the start of a tape by picking out patterns with a manual punch to make it easier to identify -- the pic above shows this.
I used five-level tape for amateur radio (RTTY) on a Creed 7B, I think. Baudot code, something like 45-55 baud, but it doesn't count because that kit was actually obsolete at the time.
#11 - Those two major cities act as filters of incoming riff-raff. Once filtered, the rest of the state (although mostly poor) is very nice and relatively quiet.
That is computer tape. To send a message the tape is half that size and the maximum number of holes going across is 5. I did the Crypto/Teletype maintenance gig in the Air Force.
i have spent my day not doing shit. highs in the lower 70"s. me and my 3 dogs just outside on the porch enjoying the day. a person has to do that every so often.

ReplyDeleteAfter watching Blazing Saddles for the first time, every time I hear Kansas City, I think Kanss City faggots
DeleteHeh. St. Louis is desperately trying to keep East St. Louis (and the rest of Illinois) out.
DeleteAnd then there's St. Joe -- eww

#6 - Moon Moon !! Oh no !!
ReplyDelete16 - Yes, you could send/save TTY messages with that. But first used it for computer programming.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about #6, is that a husky in the bottom pic?

DeleteYep

Delete#16. I used to be able to read the holes in the tape for the message. I could also read the holes on an IBM punchcard. Does that mean I am old?
ReplyDeleteI don't know. I need more information.
DeleteDid you ever drop an un-sequenced card deck?
Only as old as me.
Delete@Gunny Frank - Yes and me too. - Nemo

ReplyDeleteI actually owned a military surplus Model 19 (TT-7FG). What a hoot to get into action - feed it a tape and watch it go.

Delete#16, we used ASR28 teletypes for a year after I started at that place, then upgraded to terminals. BIG change.
ReplyDeleteThat is computer tape. To send a message the tape is half that size and the maximum number of holes going across is 5. I did the Crypto/Teletype maintenance gig in the Air Force.
ReplyDeleteI still have a few punch cards for old time's sake. Am I old???
ReplyDelete#16: Oh boy. Memories! I used to be able to READ paper tape. With my EYES! 🤔🥰

Windsocks indicate the direction the wind is blowing. In the second frame he is NOT pissin' into the wind.
DeleteNow let's do Superman's cape...
#12 More there than meets the eye.
ReplyDeleteI could be missing something obvious, but #4 has stumped me.
ReplyDeleteHe checked the wind direction before pissing.
DeleteOh, yeah, right. Got it. I was still crossing my eyes to get a three dimensional image out of that one and the gal with the sandwich! -DGR
DeleteThe wind sock has two purposes , which way to piss , which way to take off in a plane.
DeleteYea, as Jim Croce says you don piss in the wind….
ReplyDeleteI believe ole Jim sings “spit into the wind” not piss.
Delete#7! Sammich girl! I want to have her children!
