teleprinter

Transmitting and receiving device used in telecommunications to handle coded messages. Teleprinters are automatic typewriters keyed telegraphically to convert typed words into electrical signals (using a five-unit Baudot code, see baud) at the transmitting end, and signals into typed words at the receiving end. They are now largely obsolete, their functions having been taken over by networked computers.
