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?

As far as I know the first page-printing telegraph was Murray's in 1898

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

Specifically, it was a reprint of a 1926 “Catalogue of the collections in the Science Museum: Electrical Communication: Line Telegraphy.”
