[GreenKeys] Glass windows in Teletype machines

[Don Robert House]

YES Dave,

The infamous de-lamination of old safety glass.  The same happens on  
very old automobile safety glass.

As mentioned earlier all of Teletypes machines except the 26  
originally used glass at different times the companies customers chose  
to substitute plexiglas.

It is much easier to clean glass than plexiglas!

Some trivia....  Teletype used at least three different words for  
these items:  GLASS,  WINDOW,  COVER

The glass in my Bell model 15 was broken when I got the machine.  It was
safety glass -two glass layers with a plastic film in between.  Only  
the top
glass was broken so I was able to remove it and the plastic and just  
use the
bottom piece.  I wouldn't mind obtaining a replacement glass if one  
becomes
available.
