Many years ago (this actually comes in the
'classic' timeframe), I
obtained a Sanders 12/7 printer. For those who don't know this piece of
engineering, it's a 7 pin dot matrix printer with enough mechanical
precision that it's worth doing 8 passes of the printhead for some fonts.
In the story of Terak's demise, they were bought by Calcomp,
which at the time (in the mid-late 80s) was owned by Sanders.
Later, Sanders was sold to Lockheed.
