I am electronics technologist. I worked for Telecom Australia in trunk & private network Telex center in CTO, Melbourne during late 1980's & early 1990's.

Thanks for your comment. If you are still in the Melbourne region, a good starting point may be a visit to the Victorian Telecommunications Museum, Burwood Rd Hawthorn.

I remember repairing the Siemens M100 at The Age newspaper. They where used in cold metal typesetting. I was a Linotype Mechanic and I was trained by a Mechanic that migrated to Australia from England.
That is an interesting combination of keyboard technology knowledge! The M 100 was used for some of my conversation with a friend in New Jersey on Tuesday morning and is online 24/7
PS: It was called "cold type" vs "hot type." From the Lino's it was "hot type" (obviously, because it was in fact HOT to the touch), and "cold type" which was a.k.a. "photocomp" (photo typesetting). ... and yes, I was there for the transition ;-)

Very Interesting. Thanks. Who in those days could have dreamed that this would eventually become the Internet, with so many fun and important Applications which today we take for granted.
i remember seeing a documentary from bell labs on 1960s computers where that at and t had created a network of remote teletypes and one was able to dial from a remote location say phillidelphia usa and use a remote teleprinter to communicate to a computer at another location. the name of the documentary escapes me . 73 de kae4466/kf6uxj.
telex: invented in canada in the 1930s. Coupled with "the original internet" - RAF Fighter Command - speeded communication around the world. could even transmit photographs.
Whatever you are thinking of, it is not Telex in the normal sense where subscribers (companies) could call another company simply by typing in their Telex numbers and a direct connection was made automatically. That did not come to North America until 1956.
Being an American film it is a bit unlikely to have been a Siemens T100, but certainly not impossible because ?Bell introduced Telex to the US in the 1960s using Siemens technology.
back in school 1976, in 'secretarial courses' we had learn to READ the ribbon with the holes. This generation surely doesn't know about the fast growing of technology from the telex machines, typewritters up to today's computers
I first used Internet (then called ARPANET) in 1969 using a TELEX machine & acoustic modem @ my high school communicating with SFU about 10 miles away.
False, no telex machine was ever connected to arpanet and high schools weren't connected either. I also believe that SFU wasn't on the network as well. Plus, there were only four hosts in 1969 - three universities and one research center.
I doubt if any were made that late. Fax machines had largely killed Telex by then. If you just want to connect it to your own computer, something would probably be worked out after you have a particular machine.
I'd be interested in doing this, but where exactly does one find a telex machine to begin with nowadays? And what would I need to do to hook the thing up to the internet? Always neat to see old machines being put to new uses!
Teleprinters worked on a system where each character was made up of a combination of up to 5 pulses of power or dead sections. In tape form, the hole was the pulse of power and lack of hole was the dead section. These were represented by holes in strips across the tape. 50 holes per second were read. So in fact the paper tape was a primitive memory storage system and once a tape was punched, it could be replayed numerous times to get the same message. If you do a google search for ‘baudot 5 unit code’ it should explain it better.
it was a good method in its day, but i think email is so much better as you can send pictures and audio files with email, but still an interesting video
+keith barber It was ‘cutting edge’ in its day with around 30,000 subscribers in Australia at its peak. For example, most motels had it for guests to book ahead for their next night. They had written proof of their booking and Telex messages had the legal recognition of legal documents. It was fax which really killed it as suddenly even the dumbest office girl could send one with almost no training. Telex was more complex.
+keith barber True, probably on both counts. There is no exchange any more in Australia. I think subscribers use one in the UK but there may be others. See my other video ‘Telex Control Desk Sydney 2005’.
The few people still using Telex have to go through an exchange in Britain but I don’t know whether they are using Teleprinters or if it is simply something done via the computer.
I'm a 19 year old college student and I'm in love with these machines,few months ago one of them who once belonged to Telephone Organization of Greece was on sale but it was expensive for me and not it good condition :'( ,I would die to have one :(
Recep Halil Keep a watch on Ebay. I think there are many machines which appear from time to time, but in Germany. Good luck getting one! If you have no luck after some weeks, get back to me as I know some Germans with printers.
Hi, I’m pleased I brought back some memories. The 2000 is my favourite machine to use online. It’s simple to use, preparing and saving messages on the memory is easy, and it still works well. There is a lady in Brisbane who recently joined the i-Telex network. She has an old Teletype to restore so to get her started I have given her a spare Siemens M100, a Sagem TX 20, (and these both work well on the network) and on Saturday gave her a TX 35E. Unfortunately she is having trouble getting it to work on the system. If you think that you could have some clues about this, maybe you would like to get back to me.
Thanks for getting back to me. A bit has happened in the meantime. There appears to be a discrepancy with the line voltage output/input which prevents normal operation with i-Telex but will work with a modem Interface I made for use over the phone lines (which is a bit unreliable these days with the VOIP type phone lines). Anyway the lady will bring it back to me Saturday and we will see if changing the Line board (Carte CTR Ligne DC + Filtre, the one with 3 relays) solves the problem as I have a few spares here. If not you may have some hints which could be of use.
@@chrisb5108 Hi Chris, Just a little update. The lady brought her TX35E here on Saturday and it was not connecting to anything else. After checking that all the parameters agreed with the settings on mine, we changed the Line board with a spare I had. It then worked back to back with my TX35E and other Sagems, as well as i-Telex and other non-Telecom equipment I have made. However there was still an intermittent fault, and replacing the line cord along with the little circuit board which plugs into the rear of the Sagem. It was now fine. Unfortunately it still did not work with i-Telex at her home. It appears that the outgoing signal from i-Telex is not strong enough, although it was here. This is odd, as her TX20 seems happy with the weaker signal. There appears to be no way to modify the line signal strength either with Parameters or anything physical. So we are on the point of modifying the i-Telex output, lowering the value of a resistor. Hopefully it will be working fine on i-Telex soon. Richard
Just a final update. It turns out that the sleep current coming from the German design i-Telex electronics was too weak. Although the TX35 E would happily recognise this and go to sleep, for some reason it was too weak to commence a call. So with German guidance, the Brisbane lady reduced the value of the resistor in series with the sleep current supply, and now it calls out without problems. Also yesterday she got going another spare TX35 E although it lacks a print head and VDU screen. There can’t be too many of these still operating in the world.
The app is not one you can find in the Apple app shop or elsewhere. It appears when my IP address is typed into Google search. However as I have a dynamic IP address, it changes fairly frequently. What were you hoping to do with the app?
+Chua Pei Yuan Hi Chua, Thanks for your interest. I have checked with our Engineers, and they assure me that the data usage is tiny. The content of a 'Chat' is very similar to a text-only email of the same length. Both use the same method to send the words.
that's pretty, cool. if it went more mainstream instead of being stuck in business. it could have been an early message board with several users connected.
The problem was that in most countries, you could not simply buy a Telex machine and plug it in. They were only available on a monthly rental basis and calls were not particularly cheap. And of course if you did pay to have one, all you could call would be businesses. Initially it was fax machines which killed them off, and later on emails became another substitute, both of these being very much cheaper than renting a Telex service on a monthly basis. We only have them because nobody wanted Telex any more..
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.
Sounds like the procedure, which has been imitated by the German designers of this hobby network. Teleprinters were used in Europe and UK for post office telegrams from the 1930s and some time after that the Telex network was set up. FAX did not start until the late 70s or early 80s but because of its simplicity, it killed Telex.
No. TELEX was much too expensive for ordinary people to hire. Businesses that had a need for printed communications to go very quickly to other businesses (especially overseas) used this, much like businesses send emails to each other instead of just phoning. FAX very much killed off the service as anyone with little training could send a FAX message for just the cost of a normal phone call. Email almost killed off the rest, and today very few businesses have TELEX, and the only exchange I know of is in England.
There is a big hobby fair in Hannover Germany this weekend so I will be using my teleprinters to chat with people there this evening and tomorrow evening. 😊

Take care of those machines. We're going to need them to communicate after Hair Twitler brings the world to its knees and the economic crisis shuts down the infrastructure.
Actually that one dates from just 1960. Others I own are of designs dating from the 1930s. Looked for my video ‘Gold Coast Teleprinters’ to see them and others.
