Hello Bill,

The unit in the foreground with the "gold Box behind it is a Receive 
Only version of the AN/UGC-77 a Tempest low level unit.  The printers 
in the "waterfall" cabinets are M28 compact printers in cabinets 
designed for locations with space problems.  The two triple readers 
in a single mounting are M28 multi-mount transmitters.  They use a 
common drive shaft but can send at different speeds.  The unit that 
looks like a glass refrigerator is a M28 R-T unit used to re-transmit 
traffic coming in at one speed and sending it back out at another 
speed.  We have a couple of R-T units here at the museum.  The 
readers with the "climbing head" are interesting.  They read the tape 
all the way up to the last character punched in the tape.

Regards,
Don
