The Baron is pleased to bring you this new feature of the blog, Turn Back the Tech. Every now and again, when we find an old tech clip, we will post it for your enjoyment. Today's installment: the fax machine. This clip is from the 1930's (though fax had been around long before that) and features a great explanation of how a fax machine (or wire photo transmission, as they call it) works.
If you want to skip ahead, the explanation begins at about 3:45 into the clip.
Very interesting. I also noticed a 1920's Candlestick Phone. It would be great to see some additional footage on those.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it. Next time I might try for those 80's cell phones also.
