Wonder if the patent examples https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/e0/f5/ab/29b978e9872c40/US663996.pdf … https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/1e/00/fc/b11f961ae0da1c/US700330.pdf … are enough to reverse engineer the rest of the Monotype codepic.twitter.com/eOyqsdlhaj

But type casters and line casters were not teleprinters. And I was under the impression that most early teleprinters were ticker tape?

Which begs the question, when did we first have hardware that even needed LF and CR?

If you're using a modified typewriter, you'd need BS (for combined characters) before you'd need to separate CR and LF.

If I make assumptions about buffering and synchronization, you'd want to separate CR and LF so blank lines can go faster than text lines.

Murray used the Bar-Lock typewriter for his first printer https://archive.org/stream/enf-ascii-1840-1901/Image070917120809#page/n63/mode/1up … but apparently didn't care to encode BSpic.twitter.com/tlZRhFARLF
