For the "canonical" printing terminal, however, either the LA36 or
LA120 would be the most recognizable.   They were to be found in nearly
every installation.

I forget which model has a page in the printset showing the best orientation
for loading an entire 18-wheeler full of them, but it was one of those two.
They were certainly expecting to sell a lot of them!


Considering: "The DEC LA120 DECwriter III terminal is a dot-matrix printing terminal with a maximum speed of 120 characters per second. It was introduced in November, 1978 at a price of $1,830 each in quantities of 100."

Shame the sound-dampening foam rots on 'em...
