  • Chad Is Our Most Important Product
    CHAD IS OUR MOST IMPORTANT PRODUCT An Engineer’s Memoir of Teletype Corporation Jim Haynes The author operating W5YM in 1957 1 I. How it all started When I was growing up in a small town I thought it was an awfully boring place. Now I realize that I had some opportunities that probably would not have been available in a larger city. For one thing, it was possible for a kid to hang out at the newspaper office, telephone office, telegraph office, or radio station and watch a Teletype machine in operation. Things were slow enough that the people who worked there usually had time to answer questions. When I wanted to understand how a Teletype machine worked the wire chief at the telephone office let me borrow the “green book”1. After reading all about selector cams and swords and code bars and pull bars I could drop in to the Western Union office where the manager, a friend of the family, let me play with a little-used printer and see in action all the parts I had read about. Another advantage to living out in the sticks was that television arrived very late. This allowed a pretty good news stand to remain in full operation through most of my teen years. Jack’s News Stand carried several magazines of interest: Radio-Electronics, Radio & Television News, and the amateur radio magazines QST and CQ. Hugo Gernsback’s Radio-Electronics ran a series of articles by Ed- mund C. Berkeley about digital computers, which gave me an early introduction to binary arithmetic, Boolean algebra, and logic circuits.
