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.
Oh, that last one is hilarious.

DeleteIf only he'd bitchslapped those two CBS cnuts harder.

ReplyDelete#16, we used ASR28 teletypes for a year after I started at that place, then upgraded to terminals. BIG change.
