Sandy,

Thanks for the response but this was not for sending or receiving  
characters electrically, rather used by the operator to transcribe the  
CW characters coming in on his headset.  Pretty much a standard  
portable mechanical typewriter of the period but printed out upper  
case letters only  along with certain other special characters.   
Similar, full size machines widely used by on ships and fixed-plant  
communications sites during WW2.

Dennis
