As a writer I take the printed word very seriously, and I have a big problem with CZcams's auto-captions. Yes, I spent the time to make corrections the text for this short video and there are probably still some mistakes in the CC, but I cannot do this for all the videos - just some of them. I hope people understand. Let me explain why.... Join Team FranLab!!!! Become a patron and help support ...

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! This was really perfect for me!
The cars nowadays split in half
I drop pens constantly, glass and nibs are an exceedingly poor designs for me!
your an annoying person. why make a video to answer these questions and then just talk shit about why anybody would want to know these things and not answer any of them. your literally the most annoying type of person that worries about what and why other people are doing. just dont make the video next time.
Im confused 🤔 What does the used resale value of the pedal have to do with you being able to repair it or not. Why do you care if they sell it or not. Its not really any of your business. Who are you to decide whats “unreasonable”. Grow up.
These I never knew existed.
This is, of course, one type of telegraph terminal equipment, used in the USA. There were quite a few different types developed in Europe that were equally efficient, though differing in design. Before the Baudot code mentioned, there were machines that could translate cable code, a form of morse that used positive & negative voltages, to send & receive messages.
Not as cool as nixie tubes imo
All done with IBM and Honeywell mainframe technology. I miss that era… 😞
I inhaled some lead solder yesterday, I can feel it today. and so funny, soon as you said if I was working on a production line or something "the how it's made" show popped in mind. I think it was one when they were making TV screens or phones or something.
How are these different from Nixie Tubes? (Apart from the separate shaped filaments?)
Different in every way. Vacuum vs gas filled, incandescent vs ionized gas, high voltage vs low voltage, etc.
Well done you and yes, retreading to get it 'currently' on the record is a good thing. You never know who might run across such and run with it, even be inspired. There's a compatriot of 'yore who did a custom amplifier ? it was a bit beyond me what was the big idea, I'm going to forward you to along with a dubious idea. I'm sure you're way tired of this, but, do you 'market' to schools? Obviously you'd be inspirational for girls, women and as long a row as that is to hoe, the more women do in this world, the better off we'll all be. No I'm not, but I'm not a "Buba" either. Thanks for all the background you've provided to get me through a boring day of work.
I wonder if you might have the time to answer a brief question. It seems to me that as late as the early '80s, that Teletype machines connected with others by means of a 5-digit number similar to a phone number, and that it was even dialled on older models with a rotary dial to connect. This seems to stick in my mind because in the early days of fax-machines I remember a secretary on the phone telling me that I had given her: 'Too many numbers for a fax!'...when I had simply just given her a standard phone number which faxes use(d). She was insistent that it had to be only five-digits long, but having had a Teletype in the office where I had worked as a late-teen, I sensed she was confused between the two (it was, in her defence however, the early days of the fax machine just starting to come into the average small business office). I persisted in regard to the fax number, and she finally listen so that the fax came through. Regarding the old Teletype, however, was I right in that they connected to others with a five-digit number, or have I simply become confused with time? Cheers!
I honestly don't know anything about the interface systems.
I think we have a Time Traveler in our midst! I found another CZcamsr that, IMO, looks A LOT like Fran! She goes by the username "Kibly Built It". She only has 783 subscribers as I'm writing this comment. I'm curious if anyone else sees any similarities... I'm still a little shocked. 😳
Everyone has a doppelganger somewhere.
It reminds me of call of duty Black ops. I would actually get these lights. They look super cool

Kiwi check?
@@onkcuf Yes. Half Cut Kiwi Approved. 😉✔️(You should see how well I rate Great You Tubers when I'm sober...)
If you could develop a lens that would add curve like that to a flat screen you would have a market for it. It's hard to recreate the look of these old TVs because nobody makes CRT TVs any more.
Nobody raised their voices once. Cool heads all over the place. 24 years after the 2nd WW. Von Braun there watching the whole thing. Amazing film.How much we progressed in the 60's. I was in California on this day.
I love these things, I think I might try to buy some for my collection.
Whose granma is this? Super cool!
Thank you fran, very interesting
Ford commercials of the late 60's tag line was Ford has a better idea. My neighbor was in a car accident in the early 80's in his Pinto. My parents drove a Volvo from 1972-1983.
