Nothing new here
Back in the70's I worked for Honeywell IS in the states.
A programming genius figured out how to play Christmas carols on the drum printer using the hammers. It worked very well.
Most customers cheated out the paper out sensors and played the tunes. OK if it was intermittent use, BUT.......
One good company party and the hammers and drum would be damaged. Took weeks to get everything back to normal, usually involving airshipping drums and hammer assemblies, and a lot of time to set up the timing. 123 hammers, individually adjusted.
Nothing new here.
I'll get my coat, and the new hammers.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
