[GreenKeys] Ransom Slayton's Teletype Museum Tour

[Duncan M. Brown]

Gil,

Great news on finally getting the slides!!

The AWA Museum was one of the recipients of the Teletype Museum when it was
disbanded.

I have been able to identify the following items from the Teletype Museum:
-Kleinschmidt Electric Model 20A tape printer (multiple magnets, no motor)
-GPE perforator
-TT-30/AGA-1 version of M31 (with dynamotor & 26L6 electronic motor speed
control)
-M36 Monopulse keyboard.

If you need any pictures of these items for the new tour, let me know and I
can get them for you.

[I just looked at DVD of Slayton's tour, and the KEC 20A is not mentioned
in it.  The 20A looks like the 21A, but in the KEC 5 chassis, probably an
early version of the 21A.  The dynamotor version of the M31 is also not
part of the original tour.  But if you want to squeeze them in, I'd be glad
to provide pictures.]
