I actually had one of these. It was made by Anderson Jacobson, their model
number 841 printing terminal. It was built on the Selectric (communications
model) typewriter, but AJ's added electronics made it work as an ascii
terminal, rather than an EBCDIC one! Was really cool, a bit noisy in operation,
although it was quieter than the ASR-33 that it replaced :) not to mention
faster!
