- adrian_b 2y agoThat is interesting, but Model 38 was also a very late model (1972), launched at a time when teletypes were becoming obsolete and more than two decades after the line printers that have established the 132-character width. The existence of such very late wide teletypes did not have any influence on the appearance of the 132-character width, which had been used in line printers since around 1950.
