- 30 -

Back when reporters typed their stories, they indicated where the last paragraph ended by inserting -30-. One source is that that technique derived from the telegraph’s influence. Teletype operators would end their teletype messages with the code that equaled -30-. Thus when the telegraph operator at the other end of the line read -30-, he knew the message was complete.
