[GreenKeys] strange Teletype?

According to my info it was made circa 1948 as the Model 36.
Don't know why the model number jumped way up like that.  The codes
are HK for the keyboard and HP for the printer.

It's much cheaper to make than a Model 14.  Much harder to use of
course, with that circular keyboard.  The circular arrangement is
what made the keyboard cheap; the keys are just stops for the
rotating part.

I don't know the rationale for making them - the brief text in the
museum said something about for use within a plant.  Maybe somebody
thought they would be useful within Teletype's own plant.
