Nice.  Torn-tape relay center, I gather.

Working in a place like that, the rhythm must have really gotten under people's skin.  Enough that you can easily imagine what led to the cadence in the song "easier said than done."

As my Teletype experience was all at 10 characters per second, when I do hear some of those older slower machines, they sound way too slow.
