[GreenKeys] Kleinschmidt TT-4A/TG

[Sheldon Daitch]

When I worked for the AP, the method we used for cleaning
M-15 units was to soak it in a solvent type liquid, then 
it was washed in the hottest water we could get in the shop,
and then immediately dumped it in a bucket of oil.  

The solvent was a heavy liquid, not something the evaporated
in the rate of gallons per minute.  The hot water bath 
cleaned off all the solvent, but the keep things from 
immediately rusting, the oil bath put a layer of clean
oil on everything. 

The mainshaft had to be taken out and rebuilt, because
anything with the oil felts would get screwed up with the
solvent water process.  Maybe the selector magnets were also
pulled off, too.  I think we had to redo the dash pot
leather and maybe the typing unit fabric band.  Too many
years ago, folks.
