I goofed on the first run: I had the columns set to 80, instead of 132. Here's the updated version:
Thanks so much for this Mike! It's awesome that you could do this on such short notice.
I got lucky. That printer hasn't been run since 2009. :-)
So someone else pointed out that dot matrix printout isn't historically accurate. So what kind of printer would have actually been used for the Apollo 8 code?
A chain-train or drum printer, such as an IBM 1403. The CHM has a working 1403 on their 1401 system. I wonder why she didn't contact them?
Oh she contacted CHM first. And the director of CHM referred her to us! You forget that CHM is closed because of Covid-19 and that no one can go into work on anything now. So no one would be allowed to print it for her.
