[GreenKeys] WUTco 2B Strip Printer

[Don Robert House]

Doug,

You make my heart ache for our Model 12 which is in pieces in my  
friends garage in Oceanside, CA.

I am having a mental problem with your write up on the UGC 20.  In my  
head the typing unit had some modifications made to it to fit into the  
case. I think that the standard typing unit would fit in a skintight  
28 KSR but not in a compact 28 KSR.  I remember the side plates and  
platen being positioned differently than standard.

You can also help me a bit with the nomenclature, if I remember  
correctly the UGC 20 has a multi-contact distributor and takes a  
regular 60 milliamp loop.  The same unit with a light distributor for  
TEMPEST use was the UGC-77

Can you verify this?

Thanks,
Don
