Context:
"His actual working study was a smaller room that contained only quotron machines, stock tables and tax guides."
Este vorba de un agent de bursă; bănuiesc că aceste “quotron machines” sunt instrumentele de lucru specifice :). Acţiunea se petrece la sfârşitul anilor ’80. Din câte-am văzut pe internet, quotron machines au devenit obiecte de colecţie… Un indiciu ar fi următoarea frază: “I enjoyed exteriorizing inside my Quotron machine, which was the name of the computer terminal on my desk which gave me all the stock and commodity prices.” (www.xs4all.nl/~fishman/ls/ls13.html – mă-ntreb ce înseamnă “to exteriorize inside”, but this is by the by).
Mulţumesc pentru orice sugestii!

terminal quotron
Cred că ar fi utilă şi o notă de subsol ...
Nu l-am întâlnit prin textele mele :-D, dar din ce-am găsit pe net am înţeles că e un fost substantiv propriu care a devenit substantiv comun. Dacă l-ai fi avut la singular, cred că ai fi putut spune "un quotron", dar nu mă pot gândi la niciun plural care să nu sune ca naiba.
"comunicatii - linie de comunicatie internet de 128 Kbps garantata intre ***terminalul*** fiecarui broker activ si serverul de comunicatie al SC BMFM SA SIBIU, linie care sa nu mai poata fi folosita pentru alte aplicatii internet."

"RS: How long have you been using a computer?
EB: I've been using computers for 10-15 years. Our first computer at the office was a Hewlett Packard HP 65. You put little slips (tapes) into the computer that had a particular program on them. Eventually we also got better quote machines and everyone got one on their desk. These ran off of a central mainframe computer. We had a server in our office and the information was relayed from New York (Wall Street). The first quote machines that we used at work probably qualified as computers. They were ticker tape machines, you punched in the symbol and the tape looked like a telegraph tape. Heat sensitive tape. ***Quotron was the brand name***. These Quotron machines had vacuum tubes. Two tubes would light up to represent the number two. We only had one quote machine for an entire office full of people. I was the first one in the office to have a hand-held calculator. The others were using a slide rule. This was 1962. "

Note from asker:
| O fi “maşină de calcul”, LOL Mă rog, ăsta este un roman (prost), deci putem fi mai puţin stricţi cu tehnica… :) Mai licitează cineva? |

Comment: "Până la urmă am zis “terminale Quotron care-i furnizau permanent cotaţiile”, combinând informaţiile primite de la tine şi de la un alt prieten. Thanks, Tudor :) Mulţumesc, Mihai :)"
