Unfortunately (;}), I have been involved in about all of it.  Begin 
copying AP/UPI/Reuters/TASS on a M15 in 1959.  Was running the Mars 
Station at Fort Polk, La. in 1963 when Kennedy was assasinated.  Had 
long prints from both AP and UPI for years.  May still have them but 
I have no idea where they may be.  Probably gone.  

Have run / managed torn tape as well as Autodin comm centers.  Same 
goes for torn tape relays as well as Autodin Switching Centers.  
Europe and Vietnam.  

I do not get too excited about it but it is nice to see that a 
facsimilie (SP) is available on the internet.  Retired Army Sig 
Corps.
