[GreenKeys] KS = Kearny Specification

Sun, 18 Aug 2002 10:43:41 -0700

Teletype Corp was wholly owned by Western Electric.  Western (or 
WEco) developed specifications for equipment used in the Bell System. 
Most of this work was done at the WEco facility in Kearny, New 
Jersey.  If the item was to be supplied by other that WEco itself, it 
had to have a Kearny Specification (KS) and the item was solely 
manufactured for Bell System use through WEco distribution channels.
