Original Dome with black tape around the edges. THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST MECHANICAL MACHINES. AFTER 1930, MOST WERE BECOMING ADVANCED. THIS IS A CLASSIC PIECE OF HISTORY. Ticker tape was the earliest digital electronic communications medium, transmitting stock price information over telegraph lines, in use between around 1870 through 1970. It consisted of a paper strip which ran through a machine called a stock ticker, which printed abbreviated company names as alphabetic symbols followed by numeric stock transaction price and volume information. Newer and more efficient tickers became available in the 1930s and 1960s but the physical ticker tape phase was quickly coming to a close being followed by the electronic phase. These newer and better tickers still had an approximate 15-to-20-minute delay. Stock ticker machines became obsolete in the 1960s, replaced by computer networks ; none have been manufactured for use for decades. However, working reproductions of at least one model are now being manufactured for museums and collectors.It was not until 1996 that a ticker type electronic device was produced that could operate in true real time.
