i was a telex operator for a shipping company in manila in my younger days. this is almost the same as the siemens i used. i know the letter equivalent of every perforation of the ticker tape and incoming is red outgoing is black. those were the days i'm old now. thanks for uploading your video.
1980 until 1982 I was a tutor for telecommunication with Siemens in Munich. I specialized in training courses for the repair, service, and maintenance of the T1000 and T1000S. I trained the post office in Brunei, the army in Bagdad and Athens, and my boss was Mr. Neubauer and Mr. Nordmeier. Does anybody remember those staff days? ...
The Telex was before THE FAX MACHINE. You would type your message to someone else to another company. If the message had no mistakes, than you would dial the number of the receiver and start the sending. Than the ribbon, yellow or blue would come out. You would file that ribbon with the printed copy in a file.
Before Instant Messages and Email, you have the teleprinter. But they are mainly use by the government, military and telecommunication companies like Wester Union or UPS or Union Pacific or use in universities or even use in USPS.
geweldig ik heb 40 jaar in de telegrafie gewerkt en heel veel van dit soort toestellengerepareerd geolied en gesmeerd. Heel leuk om hierin te blsderen. Wij ( telecom arnhem )hebben nog veel van de toestellen.
Where/when were you stationed? I'm in the USAF in England, working as a network engineer. We have some long haul equipment from the 80s still in service.
@@johncmontalbo1893 Basically they operated off ordinary phone lines as you can tell by the rotary dial up pad. You simply dialed the number, got connected and wham. The next generation telex machines used tapes so that you could pre-type the message and then dial and run the tape. This saved on phone bills. The generation after that actually had monochrome screens (you know, the old green displays) and you could pre-type your message using that and then dial up and send. I loved these machines. You could also chat live with someone just like we do on instant messenger apps today. Crazy to know I was doing this back in 1979!! Enjoy the research.
In late '80's modems were average 9600 bps & there was rush for computer & modem because it was thought 50 baud teleprinters were too slow. However put the technology in perspective. Broadband internet is 80 Mbps which makes 'high speed' modems of late '80s seem like snails moving data at rates not significantly different from telex 66 words per minute. Dial-up internet in 1998 was very slow 56K bps.
So how was the connection made from one machine to another? Was it just a standard phone call from a typical telephone line? What about sending to a machine half-way across the U.S.? Did the person just dial 1+Area Code+Phone Number and pay a typical long-distance charge like they did with a voice call? I was a child and teen in the 70's and 80's and was not exposed to any of this growing up; that's why I'm asking.

Hi, Dragonforces, would it be possible with your permission to use your video on my channel for educational purposes? My channel is not monetized on any video and it doesn't matter the profit from sale, promotions, advertisement etc only educational and also nostalgia
What's the purpose of the perforated band ? Also does it write on your paper when the message you're typing is to be sent over ? (Last question, can a teletypewriter be used as a standard typrwriter as well ?)
The text the machine is sending is being read from the perforated band. I prepared it „offline“ so I can use the band to send the text quickly once the machine is „online“. It writes sent and received text on paper, in different colors (black and red). You could use it as a normal typewriter, but you have no upper case character (just lower) and a lot of special characters are not present.
hehehee what a honest question bro !!!! that paper was the SD CARD with the text ready to send so you make the transfer asap !!!!!! was a memory device. The message was printed on that paper tape FIRST before you send so it was fast. Every minute of transmission could be as much as 3 dollars !!!!! you cant play stupid games with these machines.
der ist schon neuer,da kein Siemensvogel mehr dran ist. Das Wählscheibengerät ist allerdings noch älter,da hier noch ein Siemensvogel drauf ist! (bis Ende 1972 gab es den)
Hello, thanks for your video, I have a T1000 teletype, but I don't know the connector connections, could you help me, could you tell me about the plug, where I have to put the +60 and -60 volts, for it to work, thanks for your reply.
Folks, you're missing one important aspect: because of the response (seen at the top) you knew who you're sending to. We had a way of sending messages where both parties were sure where it came from and to whom. This is *still* not available in the email!
H-how did i get here?! Its 2:00 at night and i have an important assignment due tomorrow, i dont own a typewriter of any kind nor do i have any interest in them, but i find this... oddly addicting. See y'all in a couple hours when i find a new video of a pip-boy from 1976 as i continue to eat beef jerky right out of the bag and dissapoint every figure of authority in my life.
In fact, messages were prepared before sending on tape and the punch had a backspace key, so one would press it and overpunch any mistakes with a non-printing LETTERS symbol (all five holes) and then continue typing.
Could someone explain how the machine works? The text that is being printed is read off the sheet with the binary code, right? So if I understand it correctly, someone somehow sent you this sheet and you are reading what is says?
Yes. The thing is, you use the punched tape as a storage medium. It is in fact an analog storage medium with digital recording - 5 bit Baudot code. So, the machine reads the punched tape and writes the text on a sheet of paper. You can type text directly, too. Advantage of the punched tape is that you can send the same text over and over, infinite number of times on numbers you want. If you don't have the punch tape, then you can write directly. There is a revival of former Telex network via enthusiasts. You can find them on i-telex.net Page is in German, but you can use Google Translate. They use this old machines today, having them connected via Internet.

Far more thrilling than emails and whatsbook posts. I miss the 20th century even though I barely remember the 90s.

Most countries governments still keep telex communications current and viable.
I used one in England when I was in the U.S. military. I was addicted to that machine. My first real live chat online.

@@thelight3112 I was at RAF Fairford from June 1979 to January 1981. I am now retired living in Japan. What base are you at in England?
Wow, that's incredible. How did they work? I'm researching into them and would love to hear anything you'd be willing to share on them

Thank you for these lovely mechanical sounds.
I ran one of those machines for a freight forwarder for a few years from 1979. What a trip!
I used to work with this machine，my youth days。😄
I can totally imagine somebody sending ASCII art of naked chics through this way back in the day.
🔴 that’s what we did at the German army ;)
Beautiful! My father worked with one of these Thanks for share!
Thank you for sharing this historical machine.

This is *still* not available in the email!
That's why TELEX networks were kept alive until end of 2006 as it had a legal status , especially for bank wire transfers.
Super. Vielen Dank!

Once upon times it was dream communication machine
I was a telex operator.
Once a skilled job - typing errors were a no-no I bet
In fact, messages were prepared before sending on tape and the punch had a backspace key, so one would press it and overpunch any mistakes with a non-printing LETTERS symbol (all five holes) and then continue typing.
Some of the typing errors in emails today are horrific
