Hello Paul,
Kv>>> It is some time ago, but in my memory all messages in the TELEX
Kv>>> system were presented in Uppercase
WD>> You are confusing TELEGRAM with TELEX.
PQ> I think you are.
Although using uppercase in telegram is a matter of style, using
uppercase in telex is a must in the international telex network.
WD>> Telegrams were printed in upper-case. Telex always has been
WD>> lower-case.
PQ> I think you are momentarily confused.
Telegrams were printed in uppercase due to style and tradition.
Telex can be lowercase, but must be uppercase in the international
telex network.
PQ> I worked in an environment that used TELEX comms as an art form for 24
PQ> years, and they were all in uppercase.
The Baudot code is still common in European telex systems, which
is why only uppercase letters are allowed in the international telex
network.
PQ> I can produce a .jpg copy of the NASA farewell telex to the Honeysuckle
PQ> Creek Tracking mob as evidence.
Reporters and journalists from around the world also read
it in uppercase, not just scientists and engineers ...
