[GreenKeys] Teletype Model 43 Manuals

[Don Robert House]

I keep in touch with Lucents CIC database.  Very very few of the old 
documentation is still available.  Since the ownership was spread 
over the Bell operating companies at divestiture at the end of 
December of 1983 those same companies have changed many times over. 
The copyrights are meaningless today.  If Lucent updated the 
documents to support their products after divestiture then there is a 
concern regarding copyrights.  I have reviewed most of these dates 
and all of the documents that were so updated were changed to AT&T 
Lucent documents.  NOT Bell System Documents.

I hope this is understandable.  The biggest problem is that it would 
take man-years to scan these old documents.  We have over 100 volumes 
each 3 inches thick, not to mention the separate Teletype Corporation 
manuals.
