[GreenKeys] 32 Telex's with TLA (Terminal Line Adapter)

[O. Warren]

Hi guys..

Another former Western Union Field Service  Tech..  Bruce Lane, where were
you??

And George, I may have known you as I was assigned to inside Seattle
twice..!!  My (outside) Field Service Tech time was at Santa Ana, Calif.,
from 1980 till just before close down in October, 1988... when I
retired!!!..

As to a use for the 32 Telex's, I looked at the send and receive frequencies
of a F1-F2 TLA (modem) and it looked a lot like the send side of a TDD
(Teletype for the Deaf).  As I remember, one side was some 2k or so, the
other side about 1k or so cps..

Later on I was serving in a situation where I had to call people, and I 'd
occasionally dial into and get a TDD or a FAX!  The FAX had sync pulses but
I listened to the Answer Back of the TDD's  and they sounded an awful lot
like a Telex on the line!!

In these days of lap top TDD's with little screens, they still sound awfully
compatible...!!

Just a thought..
