Twitter in 1935?

Twitter, circa 1935:

So this is a thing... Back in 1935 London installed a robotic messaging machine not entirely unlike the Twitter we know today. The description can be seen in the image above. The messages could be left for a small sum and they would remain on the "wall" as a "notification" for about two hours for the intended reader to view them. 

Cheers to nothing being new under the sun!
