The Slovakian authorities used one to send a message to Dublin that one of their test packages of explosives had not been picked up during their security test and had arrived in the city in the luggage of the poor electrician coming home from his holiers. I only remember ever seeing a telex machine once before, in a solicitors, in 1989. I’m sure many people have never seen one before and don’t know how it works.

Anyone care to share their telex memories?
