Was looking at the source to a very early arXiv paper (arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9210243). The PDF is unavailable, for reasons that are obscure ("pre-1996 submission which cannot be processed"). But there's a lot of history in the source code: it looks like it was submitted, as a single file, emailed from BITNET to the arXiv via a gateway. It also uses a now-obscure TeX package phyzzx (ctan.org/tex-archive/obsolete/).

I know I'll sound like a young person when I say this but I'd love to know how that worked in practice and what it was like to be in academia before everyone had access to a TCP/IP internet connection but after internetworked computers were ubiquitous. Sort of like the TV series Halt and Catch Fire but with physicists.
