You could use any size paper up to 120 columns. Years later, the Teletype Model 40 copied the concepts. Right now I'm using an HP-2645A, which while physically and feature-wise terribly overdesigned, is a grand old tube. -- Mike J Knudsen ...ihnp4!ihwpt!knudsen Bell Labs (AT&T) (312)-979-4132 (work) You think AT&T cares about CoCos, music, or Star Trek? No? Then, these opinions must be all mine!
