And yet, somehow able to achieve 15 characters per second with 8-bit EBCDIC data communications.  I used them quite a bit for a while, and remember the solid chunking clatter of their typing, quite different from the sound of a Teletype.  Also, you could change the typeball in order to completely baffle the next person to use it.
