[Milsurplus] TS-186 & BC-221& LM: How'd they calibrate

[J. Forster]

I don't know the vintage, but there was a paper tape driven typewriter surplus
in the very early 60's called a Frieden Flexowriter. It was used at MIT with the
TX-0 computer in 1962. It could well have been 15 to 20 years old by then.
