Friden Flexowriter

And you thought your VT100 was cool? Through an elaborate move involving a network of collectors across the country, I finally ended up with a Flexowriter in my office! http://www.yowza.com/classiccmp/friden/ What's a Flexowriter, you ask? Before the KSR33 TTY was invented around 1962, this was the way you got data into and out of your PDP-1, PB-250, etc. I really don't know much about it (it's just PDP-1 bait), but I'm interested in any docs, software (see below), or emotional outbursts My vague understanding of how this was used comes from a few scraps of web info. I believe it was used as a letter quality printer and paper tape punch with computers. It also has a paper tape reader. I think the reader could be interfaced to a computer, but I think it could also be used standalone! (Some?) flexowriters could accept programs to generate form letters and the like -- the first word processor! Corrections and pointers to Friden stuff welcomed. -- Doug
