Note that computer access requires typing in very precise strings of characters, with various positions representing different things. This is cumbersome and error prone, but was typical of on-line computer systems in 1966.

There are additional articles on Telex in this particular issue, simply use the [next] or [previous] to sequentially go through the issue. Interesting stuff about central office switchgear and the international Telex network, though rather technical. US users could dial Europe directly.

Once again, those who have a technical knowledge may wish to comment on WU's prowness as of the time the article was published.
