Bell System 1962
An old comedy sketch (in Norwegian with subtitles) about Telex (DTWX in Europe).
I know here in Ireland, Telex ceased to exist in 2002. There were some virtualised versions of it used for legacy customers that outsourced the service to Swisscom in Switzerland instead and delivered it over IP.

Love it. I remember using a facsimile machine in about 1977 when I was volunteering at the county library--it took about 3 minutes to spin (on a rotating drum) the message from one branch to another (list of books to request and put aside). About as far advanced as you could hope for!
I was cleaning out some stuff from my late mom's shed and found an old Panasonic Easa Phone answering machine from, I'm guessing the late 1970s or early 80s. It still had messages on it and also all the recordings of the old network sounds ... when someone hung up you could hear the old crossbar switch from the 1970s/80s going through the motions of ending the call and playing out a busy tone, lots of clicks and clunks before it got to the tone. Just weird to hear mundane messages from way way back.[this post was last edited: 9/4/2020-14:13]
Had no idea those were that old...though the one which I observed was plain paper/didn't use the carbon pack that this one did. Woof to all those fine looking men.

AT&T 1954
My Aunt Doris had a white 554 in the kitchen of the house they lived in from '63 to '91. Several other relatives and friends had them in various colors. If they think that's "ugly", they should see the Automatic Electric model 90. Several neighbors had those, as this immediate area was a GTE territory.
