[GreenKeys] 60 wpm gear

[Teletypeparts at aol.com]

Found a 181417 gear today.  The one that makes a 32 Telex work on RTTY.  I 
bought a 32 Telex from fellow amateur.  I had sold him the 60 wpm gear quite a 
few years ago.  He had used it on RTTY just a few times.  I had totally 
forgotton the transaction.  

Question:

Does anyone know who Teletype had make these gears?  Did they subcontract out 
to a company in Chicago or somewhere that may still have capability to 
manufacture some if we can find them?  I think I have heard that quite a few 
Greenkeyers are wanting this gear.  Anyone work for Teletype Corporation that might 
know, please help with any info you might have that I could track down the 
original manufacturer.  

I have had an offer from someone who thinks he can have them made out of 
aluminum, but dot think that is too good.  Maybe brass or bronze?  Would probably 
make too much noise.  Don House has been working on this and maybe he has some 
leads he will share.
