Facsimile: On the Verge of a Breakthrough

Article Abstract:

Facsimile devices, with their advantage of an internationally standard electronic language, are increasing in popularity. Group III models with standards set by the CCITT in 1980 are commonly used now. Group IV models have extremely high transmission speeds and the capability to transmit letter quality documents, but the lack of widely available public access digital communications lines needed for Group IV postpones popular use until 1987 or 1988. Popularity of Group III machines revolves around attractive prices and advanced technology such as store-and-forward capabilities, RAM and hard disk storage, and the RS-232-C interface for communicating with personal computers and word processors. Facsimile machines and software are briefly described that incorporate advanced technology and are included in photographs: the BIT-IV facsimile transceiver (Nippon Electric Corp.), 3M EMT 9175 (3M Co.), the FO-1800 Compact Facsimile (Sharp Electronics Corp.), Pitney Bowes Model 8150 (Pitney Bowes Inc.), FAX-220 (Canon USA Inc.), FAX 3510D (AT&T), FAXMaster software (Xerox Corp.), Omnifax G35 (Telautograph), and UF-400 (Panafax). Also photographed is the Multifax 7000 series (Murata Business Systems). A future trend in facsimile technologies is the blending of Group IV with Teletex, a data communications standard.

Those Amazing Desktop Calculators

Article Abstract:

Since their introduction in the late 1960s, desktop calculators have become sleeker, more functional, and have dropped in price. Today's electronic calculators offer more functions, such as date keys, four-function memory and item counters. Pictures of several desktop calculators as well as their manufacturers and special features are included.
