I'm not sure if more than one terminal at a time was supported, but
likely the first long-distance remote terminal on an electrical
calculator was the one on a Harvard Mark relay calculator. I think it
was dry copper to Aiken's office or something, some miles away, to a
teletype terminal. 1930's? 1940's?

Certainly the interface model is correct.
