HAL3100, an electronic RTTY terminal from ca 1980. These machines are sometimes called RATTs. According to Wikipedia, the primary users of RTTY today are diplomats and miliatires, since it is such a robust technology. Let’s hope they still use this HAL-model!

RTTY babez dating back to the 1960s. RTTY art was around before ASCII was even defined. It uses special keyboards and typewriters to send text messages using radio waves. It was probably used for text graphics already in the 1920s.

Instead of ASCII, it (usually) used the Baudot code, which is almost 100 years older than ASCII. All images here taken from the Roy/SAC collection, where you can get both the original data, and a lot of the original photos.

Hot setup for radio text art! This is Isao Yamaguchi and his radio machinery to send text messages around the world. RTTY art was around even before ASCII was born. It used something called Baudot instead. More here.
