Acoustic Modem
The last two Computer History Museum photos I'll post; today's topic is "Communications" This acoustic modem used the telephone handset to send and receive sounds that represented one and zero bits. As you can probably guess, they were quite slow, but they still allowed data to be transmitted over long distances.
