We had that machine in our newsroom in 1966, and I have a couple prints from it still. The sending unit was a drum, and you loaded the print on that and it rotated while a light scanned the image. The receive unit was very thin paper pretty much like print out paper. Ours was from UPI, and I was a stringer for the service, and they paid me 7 bucks a shot. AP paid $5.
