[GreenKeys] Name that teleprinter!

[Don Robert House]

I was just about to write that the very square design of the cabinet,  
keys and all are kind of a trademark for Olivetti..

There is a photo of a sort of art deco Olivetti machine in E.E.  
Kleinschmidt's book Printing Telegraphy... A New Era Begins

Hi Sam,

that's an Italian Olivetti TE300 series (maybe TE315 ASCII version).

These machines were build as Baudot (e.g. for TELEX service) and also  
as ASCII terminal machines.
Vintage 1960s to mid 1970s.

cheers,
Henning
