The acoustic Coupler predated modems. An early example is the Anderson-Jacobsen ADC 212 Acoustic Data Coupler. Our model mounted in a wooden case has a serial numberr of 222 and was designed for use in the UK

It converts data from a form which is compatible with data processing equipment to a form which is compatible with transmission facilities and visa-versa.
