I remember a rotating drum machine knocking about at the Burton upon
Trent Radio Club, iirc it was a british, it used to be kept carefully.
A quick google has found it mentioned on the current website:-
One interesting item is a Fultograph, dated 1928, this was a device
used for receiving pictures which were transmitted by wireless from
various stations including the Eiffel Tower in Paris. This device was
driven by a clockwork motor which was synchronised by pulses from the
transmitter. It seems it was an early version of the fax machine
A picture of one is mid page http://www.technikum29.de/en/communication/fax.shtm
