columns were therefore also the goal for CRT based terminals. There was some development needed before a 80x24 could be archived. Memory constraints being not the least (*10). Before CTR's printer tabulator there was the already quite successful Powers Printing Tabulator. Again not the first, as the Royden system of Peirce Patent Company already had one - not to mention custom developments like done at Prudential Insurance). Multiples of 14: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98, 112, 126, 140, 154, 168, 182, 196, 210, 224, 238, 252, 266, 280 characters is, as described in the comments, very close to the width you can fit on standard paper sizes in portrait orientation. Most typewriters and "letter quality" printers used either Courier Elite (12CPI) or Pica (10CPI). As long as you used reasonable margins you could fit a line of text of either of those onto an 80 character display, so it is particularly useful for word processing, and again you can easily get a printer that can print whatever you see on screen. Generally available in 6.000 Metre lengths and commonly in Grades T304, T316 & Grade T430; All in a wide variety of finishes.

While this was occurring, similar forces were acting on the printer market. The 132-column standard remained a significant force into the 1970s; IBM's printers starting with the 1403 all used this as their standard format, and when the first low-cost printers emerged, notably the Centronics 101, it used 132 columns. Display hardware needs to have a pixel counter that reacts when a limit is reached. It is easier to detect that limit if the binary pattern of it consists of a small number of digits that need to be matched followed by a larger number of zeros. 640 is a good candidate that is close to 675: you only need to examine 3 bits to produce a counter that counts up to it. Look through our range and find different grades, finishes, weldability, corrosion resistance, formability, and machinability.In a 'last' step the VT100 of 1978 introduced a 132x24 display, so now every 'professional' output could be shown. Proper fraction button and Improper fraction button work as pair. When you choose the one the other is switched off. Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99, 108, 117, 126, 135, 144, 153, 162, 171, 180 Multiples of 16: 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224, 240, 256, 272, 288, 304, 320

Resulting in 24/25 lines (cards) per screen when using a 4:3 tube and a reasonable font as dictated by proportions fostered since Roman times. Still, without 80 column support they were less than desirable for any serious usage (aka mainframe related) beside specialized data entry. A general purpose terminal needs to support at least the most common data structure at once. Since an IBM Electric was used as genuine terminal for the very first DEC machine ( PDP-1), it could be argued that DEC's 80 column orientation is originated here :)) Call 01902 716333 for nationwide delivery of mild steel box section Mild Steel Box Section - Regtangular and Square I'm totally new to FAC level airguns although I shoot full bore rifles in .243 and 7x57 cal', and would really appreciate any help that members might be able to offer.

Rectangular hollow section generally available in 6.000 Metre lengths and commonly in Grades T304, T316 & Grade T430; All in a wide variety of finishes. In fact, DEC's VT series does neatly show the struggle for 80 characters and might be used as an example of non printing terminals toward the 80/132 character per line goal:

The well known (*11) Datapoint 2200 did support as well 12 lines of 80 character. The similar but earlier Cogar C4) did only 8 lines with 32 characters ... one reason why it never got as popular.Technically the gold standard of all CRT based terminals, the 3270, did not display 24 but 25 lines. Just this 25th line was (usually) not accessible to user programs, as it held status information about the connection, session status or terminal/keyboard mode. So on a user level every competitor had to offer (at least) 80x24, which most did. The IBM PC text adapters were designed with terminal emulation in mind. Thus the hardware had to provide a 25th line. A line general available for any program. But there was little demand for this width; 132 characters is useful because along with reasonable margins and standard fixed-width fonts, it's about the most characters you can fit on common paper size (e.g. A4 landscape or A3 portrait with 0.4" margins and a 12CPI font, or 8"x11" with 0.5" margins and the same font), so was useful because (1) you could use it for word-processing and see an approximation of what you'd see on paper and (2) you could have a printer that would print the same thing you saw on screen. But there was no such threshold in the region of 91 characters.
