My contact suggested that this ticker machine would have been in the broker's front office because some, perhaps older, customers expected to see a ticker machine in a brokerage office. Also, it added a little noise to the office which gave an air of busy-ness. Also, some of the older brokers had lived with ticker machines all their lives, and did not want to give them up. Note that the following day, Friday April 1, 1994, was an exchange holiday for Good Friday. I suggested to the vendor that someone knew they were going to have a long weekend, they felt relaxed about it, and they grabbed the tape to take home for their kids to play with, or just for fun, or something like that.
