In the late 1960's. USN was using AN/UXH-2 printers aboard ship for
receiveing weather FAX. The machine had an endless belt with three ball nose
stylus units that ran across the pressure sensitive paper. Similar to a
loudspeaker but with the cone replaced by the stylus. Definitely not photo quality.
My duties in those days included all of the odd-ball stuff we had only one
or two of aboard except search, navigation and fire control radars.
