While searching for info on the TT-47 (yes, it is a M28 KSR) I found that
K4OZY has put up on his website, the 1000+ page "Directory of
Communications-Electronic Equipment, JANAP 161, March 1953".  It lists all
(unclassified) electronic communications equipment used by the US military
as of March 1953, with a picture & two page description of each item.
Includes many WWII items.  Equipment is listed by AN/xxx number and also
pre-AN Army & Navy designators.  Also lists comercial model numbers, where
available.   Many thanks, John!! 

Very interesting & informative!!  See it at:

One unique piece of  TTY gear I noticed, is the TT-71/UG, "Teletypewriter
Printer-Projector".  It is a large cabinet with a 2' x 3' rear-projection
screen.  It includes a M14 that types on transparent tape, so that the
incoming message can be projected on the screen and read by a large group!

Have fun & 73,
