@openculture 1937? This was in practice for many decades. I’m aware of it well into the late 80s, but it was probably used much longer than that as quality was way superior to scanning a photo and sending it digitally.

Facsimile transmission dates to the late 19th century, not the 1930s.

@tomjennings @openculture This is not fax, Tom, it’s telephoto. Completely analog. And much superior to fax in quality.
