[GreenKeys] tt-76 civilian

[Duncan M. Brown]

Tom, 

Thanks for your two cents (worth much more than that!)

There is a review of the Model 150 in the Western Union Technical Review of Apr. 1955, p. 77 http://massis.lcs.mit.edu/telecom-archives/archives/technical/western-union-tech-review/09-2/p077.htm

The article also mentions a Model 155 that was a stripped-down version of the M150.

Have Fun,

  --Duncan

Guys, Only a very small number of Kleinschmidt Machines were sold in the Civilian world. The government owned most of the machinery and the contractual requirements limited non-military sales. 
 
If my memory serves the TT-76 is a Kleinschmidt civilian  model 120. The TT-98 / 100 et all are model 150 family - Saw one called a model 152 on the same platform. Since it was based on a model 15 and ran at 100 WPM perhaps 150 was a testament to it’s predecessor. The TT-4 is a model 100. 
 
Just my $0.02
 
Tom
