I have a collection of old 1403 "carriage control" printer art that came from 
Princeton University at one point. I found copies online looking for "Princeton 
Pictures Tape". Some of them are HUGE (20-25 printed pages taped together, all 
with like 4-5 line overstrike.

I was happy to find them, I had a copy of the PPY "Moon" printer art on my 
office wall in the 80s and thought I'd never see them again.
