Which code was used on teletype machines prior to 1960?

Prior to 1960, teletype machines primarily used the Baudot code, which is a five-bit code developed in the early 20th century for telegraphy. The Baudot code allowed for the transmission of characters over teleprinter systems, facilitating efficient communication. In addition to Baudot, some systems also employed the International Teleprinter Alphabet (ITA), which later evolved into the ASCII standard.
