[GreenKeys] Teletype Corp. M28 RT - Data Networking before the Internet

[Duncan Brown]

This started out as just a video of the Museum's M28 RT (200 wpm reperf; 
60/75/100 wpm tape reader with climbing head).  But we realized that the 
M28 RT was really the start of the Internet, so the video morphed into 
more of a pre-history of the Internet.

The history of the Internet usually begins around 1966 when the ARPANET 
was funded, but data networking had been around for decades before that, 
and for most of that time message routing had been a labor intensive 
manual process, but in the 1950s, a decade before the ARPANET came on 
line, data networking was automated, and there were no computers 
involved in the process, but there were motors, gears, paper tape and 
relays everywhere.
