> Victorian teletypes

Wait what? There were devices called teletypes in the Victorian era (ending in 1901)? What were they doing?



There's a recent steampunky hacked mashup called a Victorian teletype.

Of more interest, to myself at least, teleprinters have a long history:

* Early developments (1835–1846)

* Early teleprinters (1849–1897)
