    It was difficult to find somewhere to plug it in that’s why it took so long to catch on.

    The facsimile machine worked well on telegraph lines,sending on and off bursts,the same way as the telegraph. There was added encoding for stops starts and page roll.

    First facsimile machine in 1843? I thought it was the 1920’s.

    Maybe if they used a pelvis for a musical instrument they could play some hip music.
