golf ball printer
the ibm 2741, a slow but letter-quality printing
device and terminal based on the ibm selectric typewriter.
the "golf ball" was a little spherical frob bearing reversed
embossed images of 88 different characters arranged on four
parallels of latitude; one could change the font by swapping
in a different golf ball.
this was the technology that enabled apl to use a
non-ebcdic, non-ascii, and in fact completely non-standard
character set. this put it 10 years ahead of its time -
where it stayed, firmly rooted, for the next 20, until
character displays gave way to programmable bit-mapped
devices with the flexibility to support other character sets.
