What did news wire machines look like?
The earliest news wire machines were simply telegraphs. They used a system of dots and dashes or short and long sounds. A person at the other end would write down the letters for the sounds. Next came typewriters. There was a standard typewriter. Attached to the typewriter on the side was a punching machine that could punch paper tape. The paper tape looked exactly like the tape that comes out of a cash register. Across a paper tape, there would be 7 positions. Each place could be a blank spot or a hole. As the typist typed, the machine punched the tape. The tape came out of the machine. Then the typist finished. If the article looked acceptable, the typist would feed the tape into the machine and it would send it to another typewriter or punched tape machine. Sometimes the punched tape would come into a machine and be put into the typewriter. Then the typewriter would type out the story. The seven hole punched tape was actually quite simple. It was originally designed for the weaving industry. Then it made it to the newspaper industry. Then it made it to the computer industry. CP/M the predecessor of the windows operating system had provision for it.
