There's a problem with this, Jim. Your circuit works fine with a
continuous pulse train, but teletype isn't like that, it can have long
periods of no activity (constant Mark signal), then a few characters, then
more inactivity. The selector magnet must respond to the first drop to
Space (beginning of start bit) of the first character.

The idle state is constant Mark (positive or 0V, depending on whether it's
polar or neutral signaling).

John's approach does take account of this.

Running a simulation here, I get a massive (400V plus) negative spike at
the coil on turnoff. I'd suggest replacing the RC snubber with a diode and
a 2k resistor, which will give the same falling time constant as the
original 120V "brute force" circuit, and reduce the -ve spike to around
-80V.

BTW, is there any reason for running your simulation at 75.75 baud, rather
than the 45.45 you said you would be running the machine at?

The first space is the start bit from which the sample timing originates.
It's the usual start/stop protocol: One start bit, five NRZ data bits, 1.5
stop bits. The start bit trips the clutch that starts the reading
mechanism, which samples the position of the selector magnet at fixed
intervals. The mechanism resets after 5 bit intervals and the clutch
disengages. You can regard the idle condition as one long continuous stop
signal, it's actually only 1.5 bit intervals between successive characters
in a string.

Most machines have an adjustment to set the sampling window relative to
the start so as to get the sample on the flat part of the pulses.

I once had a teletype as printer for a TRS-80 (remember those?), using the
cassette motor relay for signaling. I think I've still got the Z80
assembly code somewhere.

The chemistry involved is interesting - to put it mildly - but the

Punched tapes could reliably achieve this tightness of character
separation. Manual typists had much more jitter in start to start.
The system is truly asynchronous between characters. Intra character
timing was created by steady speed electromechanical means.

Human thought began as a mutation for survival.
The more thinking the better the survival.

The unique feature of thinking is not evidence for a we.so.specialGod.

Many other creatures have unique features.

Here in the USA, although we do have a 'commercial drivers license'
class for people who drive large trucks commercially, one can drive the
same sized vehicle for personal use (even licensed as a 'passenger car')
with no special license endorsements. Stick shifts, vehicle size,
trailers, nothing dealing with vehicle characteristics requires a
special license. Except motorcycles.
Not quite. It requires a higher level drivers' license to drive a
roadway vehicle with air brakes, or more than one trailer.

I don't have to. I don't make any claims about Noah's ark.

Best not too.. Noah's evidence is so thin that the existence for Darth
Vader is better.


You're the one who is wildly, stridently proclaiming that there couldn't
possibly be any Power Greater Than Yourself, and demanding "scientific
proof" of "fairy tales" from those who believe otherwise.

Yes, I do claim there's no quasihyperhomosapienGod based on the
scientific evidence.
Yes, I do demand people to prove their fairy tales.

Well, put your money where your mouth is! Start coming up with some
scientific proofs of your own!

Otherwise, shut your pie hole, dipstick.

Thanks,
Rich

And Noah has once again made someone resort to pie hole dipstick name
calling..

Religion is division.

Noah sucks..and there's no evidence.

As evidence of a higher being one farther above humans than we are
above the ameba I offer the miricle that is human thought. As
evideince that said being doesn't exist I offer the miracle that is
human thought. oops same proof now what do I do I know the supreme
being likes to play jokes on humans as evidience of this I offer Bill
S , Eyore and the arguements for and against those who have faith in
said supreme being.

I'll try to translate the above...
'We think therefore there is a God' ..<<Is that it?
That's the evidence?

Human thought began as a mutation for survival.
The more thinking the better the survival.

The unique feature of thinking is not evidence for a we.so.specialGod.

Many other creatures have unique features.

Studies reported in Nature suggest that lampreys have a unique type of
immune system with parts that are unrelated to the antibodies found in
mammals.

Ok good translation of line one.

How about lines two and three?

They need to be written better.


And by the by so far as we can tell intelligence actually does make us
better at survival, unless of course we kill ourselves off with
something our intelligence develops. D from BC I really don't care if
you are an atheist but I do dislike the fact that those who are
atheist demand that those that believe in God or Shiva or Gia or *Add
diety* here not believe or are stupid.

Christianity teaches how to think defectively. Defective thinking
people are only good at sayyy... flipping burgers at McDonalds.

Along the way i have met serious Christians who can clean your clock
in engineering. I strongly suspect that even i can beat you soundly.
These persons cleaned my clock repeatedly. They are a bit rare
though.
I want you and all of them to post this..

I ________ believe Noah's arc is absolutely true, actually happened
for real and is a historic fact.

I__________ reject all scientific evidence that disproves the story of
Noah's arc.
And I can wear the above written on a T-shirt during a technology
convention.

Most Christians are ignorant of their religion.
