Sure,
I'll make you a copy.
I don't have a scanned copy.

The T100 was always a quite, smooth reliable machine.
Even though ourswere a Telex machine with answerback drum, 
FigsD and WRU keys (star), it was often used as a point to point machine,
and worked with a current loop. Some were ROPP, also came in
brown and grey cases. Some had a 2 colour ribbon, local was RED,
and received traffic was black, some had a time out fitted.
Wake up was Figs. I heard that they had a magnesium alloy frame,
but they are still heavy. They had a reputation with the Firefighters,
as when an office burnt down, the TTY would burn very hotly,
and occasionally melt through the floor!
The Oz ones were 50 and 75 bauds
and Morris Obrien made an adaptor so that he could control
the motor and receive odd speeds.
