Actually, it dates back further than that, to ASR33 teletype machines,
where you needed to issue separate carriage return and line feed
characters to end a line - to i) physically return the carriage to the
beginning of the line, and ii) feed a line of paper (turn the platten).
(Anybody else out there old enough to remember when ASR33s where THE
standard i/o device? :-)
Back about 1967, the ASR33 was coveted by those of us whose only means
of input and output was the 80-column punch card.
"Output?", you say? Yes. For printed output, you put the deck of
output cards into the card hopper of the line printer -- the chassis
of which was a cube about four feet on a side. But inasmuch as the
printer broke down on a daily basis, you quickly learned to read the
holes in the cards.
I speak of the days of Fortran-II running on an IBM 1620. Back then,
it often was necessary to load the compiler (another deck of punched
cards) before loading the application.
