Man, so coincidental that you posted that. I just saw one of those things last Sunday, and I'd never seen one before.

I just wanted to point out that the phone number on the dial sticker has an alphabetic prefix that abbreviates a neighborhood name or mnemonic word. If the site were Seattle, I'd date that between the late 1950s and about 1970 when numeric prefixes came in. In the early '50s, Seattle phone numbers were one character shorter. Ours was AL-4405.

This gizmo was used to make custom printed, heat-sealable, cloth labels, presumably with patient names that were then stuck in their clothing. The machine on the left created the label--the pins on the top were how one selected the letters to be printed. The machine on the right attached the label to the garment.

They actually still use these today - same looking dial and everything. Digital is 3x the price so they're still cost effective

#1 is actually a Commodore 64 home computer. #2 is the 1541 floppy diskette drive, which used 5.25" floppy diskettes. It doesn't have anything to do with paper. I spent about 8 years playing video games with the Commodore 64 and its 1541 drive. To get a game to work, you inserted the diskette and then typed: Load "*",8,1 EDIT: LOL I'm an idiot! I didn't read closely enough, but I finally see what you did there!

The Commodore 64 was a terrific machine. I had planned to conquer the world with mine back in the day, but unfortunately my dad refused to take me to the place where they sold BASF 5.25" floppy disks...

Seriously digging all the old gear everyone! I honestly don't recognize or understand some of it, which is exactly what I wanted.
