I worked for a company called "Vernitron" in 1969. They purchased Model 33's by the
trailer truck load and refitted them into suitcases. We built small acoustic modems
to go along with them (I was on the modem test bench and also dabbled with the 33's). 
They also configured standard 33ASR's with wheels. The modem was always a 
separate item, even though other companies at the time were building them into the
Call Control Unit space on the TTY. There mist have been a dozen companies
cranking out those types of configurations. It was a hot business for maybe
two years...

73 to all,
Jack WA2HWJ
