I’ve been on a big anachronism kick lately, so it really resonated when John Kheit turned me on to this video of analog numeral displays. This is the sort of thing we had to look digital before we had digital. Or something like that.\u00a0As noted<\/a> by Boing Boing<\/em>, this technology is called \u00abedge lit digital display,\u00bb and it’s part analog and part mechanical. In the video, you can hear the mechanical relays clicking and buzzing away as they control which digit is being displayed. The video comes from Steve Johnson, who runs a website deliciously Steve’s Antique Technology<\/a>. Steve, you had me at \u00abAntique Technology.\u00bb He’s got a lot of info on these old systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":13163,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","tags":[],"class_list":["post-13161","cool-stuff-found","type-cool-stuff-found","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAnd Now for Some Old Fashioned 'Digital' Numeral Displays - The Mac Observer<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out this great video of an "edge lit digital display," a relic from an earlier age.
