Abstract

The need for high-speed, reliable, low-cost terminal printers in communications and data processing has been forcefully brought home with the advent of electronic computers, telemetry and electronic data processing systems. Our ability to printout has not kept pace with our ability to furnish information at high speed. Electro-mechanical devices are being pushed beyond their practical ultimate limit, resulting in unreliable, high cost operation. The solution lies in electronics-nonimpact printing and recording that takes these terrific speeds in stride! This article deals with Burroughs' new electrostatic printing technique and the high-speed, low-cost equipments utilizing this technique, such as communications teleprinters, printed tape recorders, and oscillographs.
