When I got into RTTY back in early 1979 my Model 14 was clanking along
when it started printing characters in strange patterns. I forget now
who the station was that was transmitting it. When the print was done I
tore the paper off the machine to look at a beautiful depiction of a
tiger, all made with letters and numbers printed by my Model 14.
I have several other pictures in my collection but the tiger is probably
lost to history as I have no idea where it is.
The common term for that was RTTY Art.
It is also something lost in this modern age of computer RTTY
communications.
I hope you enjoyed that little story from my past.

P. S. I miss my model 14.
