IIRC its escape codes were also the basis of those used by Televideo and

I actually used an ADM-3A around 1981, hooked to a CP/M system, and my
high school's computer lab had a Televideo TV950 and a VISUAL 200 that
were used through the 1980s (during which decade other equipment was added!)

Ditto. And a very interesting read it was too, as it led to me looking
up Lera-Siegler, discovering that this particular model of terminal
has its own Wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADM-3A
... and that this is the device responsible for a number of Unix
keystrokes and shortcuts still in use to this day, including HJKL for
cursor movement in Vi and a thousand other programs, ~ meaning "Home"
and more besides. Quite remarkably educational.
