I found this article interesting:

By 1955, the FCC had sort of established standards for broadcast fax (

section 3.318).
When I was in high school, I visited a local short wave listener who
received "wire photos" over HF radio. He had a spinning drum machine with
photographic film on the drum.
Then there was the Western Union Desk Fax...
