@window the reference I had here was for a terminal. so not a telegraph but for talking to a room sized computer

@liaizon im just thinking of where it coulda been used earlier. being "on" the line connected to the telegraph messages streaming in, vs disconnecting and typing some tape yourself? idk actually maybe this is an interesting one for @tomjennings
