That is interesting reading.
Yes, and all that for only about 91.000 USD.
Was the input rate for the Flexowrite limited by the flexowriter itself, or by the PB250
?
When I was a PTT telex operator, I had no problems with 8 chr/second (50 bps on a
Siemens 5-bit teletype), but there were some girls in Frankfurt/main who could type faster
then our tape transmitters. Suppose they used some electronic version of the T100, as the
mechanical version just couldnt run faster as 50 bps, IIRC
