Those Teletype machines were tough to use, I much preferred the 026 card punch.

Of course , the computer was close by!

I much preferred the 026 card punch.

LOL, the paper tape on an ASR was a little tougher to fix than a punch card. On the other hand, dropping a roll of paper tape wasn't nearly as bad as dropping a tray of cards, was it? Used the 026 quite a bit, along with an 082, 083, 416, 407 and 650. I'd list more but this is getting too maudlin and making me feel old.

As a ham radio operator. I did a lot of RTTY (radio teletype) on high frequency radio, back in the 60s.
I even had teletype chat with stations in USSR.
One popular activity was teletype art, where an image was made from the various characters. The "file" would be stored on punch tape and sent out over the air.
It could take an hour to send the image that would take up as much as two feet of paper. (80 baud)
Some were really quite good. My favorite was the one of a sexy gal sitting on a stool.

My machine was an old Teletype model 19. It had a tape punch
and reader.

Those were fun days.
