Remember the teletype? Now, hear it again
I've just added a widget in the top rail, right, that includes an audio file of a clattering teletype machine. Look for The Teletype Room. When's the last time you heard one of those?
I only remember them from the 1960s, when my mother worked for The Providence (R.I.) Journal. They also had vacuum tubes, to deliver copy to the composing room from the newsroom.
Wow, that takes me back to my days as a copy boy back in the late 60's-early 70's, when I had to rip copy from the wire machines.
