Fascinating stuff about telexes. My father used to work for the WFP in the 80s and was a big user of telexes to communicate between where we were in Somalia, and the head offices of the WFP in Rome, and UNHQ in New York. They were miraculous communication devices in their day.
A nice piece, and what a lovely site!
I mean this entirely unironically. Some dude collecting info and memorabilia about an old company is what the internet was made for, damnit!
Agreed! Here, here.
