Frank, I think we called it fax, though, as in wire facsimile.  We had that
machine in our newsroom in 1966, and I have a couple prints from it still.

The sending unit was a drum, and you loaded the print on that and it
rotated while a light scanned the image.

The receive unit was very thin paper pretty much like print out paper.
Ours  was from UPI, and I was a stringer for the service, and they paid me
7 bucks a shot.  AP paid $5.
