Hey guys,
I was looking and found that the Tektronix 4010 is a calligraphic display,
for which I found a video!

Let me know if it bares a resemblance to the display on the 6600
It wasn't normally used in that manner, except for
graphing. It had a 5 x 7 dot matrix generator and would
display essentially a similar way to a glass TTY terminal.
But, if you had graphs, 3D drawings or fancy lettering, you
could draw it stroke by stroke. That was a lot slower, of
course.
