US Geological Survey used to use a Diablo HyType I, 20 CPS Daisy wheel,
predecessor to the Diablo 630, to print maps.
I suppose it worked okay, but I never paid much attention.  As the hardware
tech on site, I was too busy trying to keep the parts from flying off.
This was around 1975, on a proprietary OS from Datapoint.
