RTTY acronym, "unshift on space". Machines had to be shifted into figures and stayed there until shifted back to letters.  Unshift on space was devised to bring the receiving machine back to letters when a spacebar character was received to keep from printing gibberish if the shift to letters character was garbled or (heaven forbid) forgotten.
