I used to work for a radio station in Orange County that had a TWX
machine. We used it to get orders from ad agencies and to add or
"pull" music from the playlist (we were programmed by someone from
another area). When I first started there (november 1978) the TWX
machine's dial tone came from Pacific Telephone (from the Anaheim
Lemon street crossbar). The, one day, it changed! The dial tone level
was lower, and the service came from an electronic switch. The switch
wouldn't allow the use of pulse dialing, probably because the machine
we used normally was a tone machine (model 33, yecch).

a great signature I had.
