   LA120 is what I remember.  As I recall, ours looked like an
LA36 with no keyboard, but moved faster.  I also seem to
recall that you were supposed to use official ink-laden
ribbons, not carbon-laden (typewriter) ribbons, because the
latter would abrade the print-wires in the head.

   I remember being impressed at the time by the cleverness of
printing on the way back.
