Malcolm Clark talks us through his "lockdown project" - the restoration of a Teletype ASR-33. Starting with three rusty and incomplete units from the museum store, his challenge was to bring back to life one working example.
We also take a look at the museum's display ASR-33, and see how these devices were used in the days before keyboards and monitors were used to interact with computers.
