I was browsing some old tech blogs and got curious - did the first fax machine in the U.S. send an actual document, or was it just testing stuff? Also, how did people even react when they saw it?

Funny story - the first fax wasn’t an urgent contract or anything, it was just a hand-drawn doodle! Edwin Belin’s Belinograph in 1924 scanned it line by line and sent it over the phone.
