Fuses, drive-in movies speakers, window crank, IBM Selectric typewriter ball. They were changeable to have different fonts.

I just posted this one on FB with the following text:
Now young people, gather around for another story from Back In The Day.
This here is how we changed fonts in Google Docs or Microsoft Word. We had to buy these and mail them in each time.
Took about a week. Like we had to send film in and wait for our pictures.
So the smarter of us figured out we could use this as an excuse to extend our deadlines for term papers in school:
"Sorry teacher. But I am still waiting for Microsoft to update my Word font!"
True story!

Dot matrix printer from 1983. It had a switch to print in italics. But the whole document was printed in italics!

Those were curb finders. similar concept to break censors… they scrape when you too close to scraping the curb.
