nov 30, 1962 - ASR-33 Teletype

Description:

In November 1931, the Bell System inaugurated the teletypewriter exchange service, often called the TWX (pronounced "twicks") system. It provided a complete communications system for the written word, including teletypewriters, transmission channels and switchboards. The Model ASR-33 Teletype shown here was introduced in 1962 and was quickly adopted as the interface of choice for early minicomputers and, as inexpensive microprocessors arrived on the scene in the mid-1970s, for microcomputers as well
