[GreenKeys] Teletype Corp TT-4/TG and the TT-242

[Don Robert House]

If you have time, see if you can find any reference to the TT-242  
which was a proposed aircraft machine... a competitor to the MITE.
They are made up of parts similar to the Model 28 the Model 32 and the  
Model 31. The museum has two of them.
We believe the Navy tested them in P2V-5, P2V-7 and WV-2 aircraft in  
Jacksonville, Florida about 1961.

George Hutchison evaluated one of the TT-242 units back a few years  
ago and found the drive mechanism to be less than adequate.
However the machine weighs less than a MITE and has less than half the  
number of parts. The manual is about the size of a comic book.
The MITE manual is as big and heavy as the Chicago phone book.

http://www.prc68.com/I/Telegraph.shtml :

"Model 27 - referenced in museum book - says that is the model number  
for
TT-4/TG (XC-2) a proposed military machine with a typing unit like a  
Model
26 and a keyboard like a Model 31.  Says only 10 units were made.  Note
that the production TT-4/TG is a Kleinschmidt machine."

(still looking for that picture!)

--have fun,
