<p>They look similar to the keyboards used on mainframe terminals on
an IBM System 370. <br>
</p>
<p>I remember some terminals that had the ability to lock the keys.
I.e. you would feel when <br>
</p>
<p>your input wasn't accepted. (Because your cursor was in the
weeds.) A bit like a jammed typewriter. <br>
