To type telegrams from CW, our morse group uses the Imperial #55
typewriter - all capitals. These were used in Cable & Wireless
stations worldwide - They're cast-iron, weigh a ton, as such will be
around yet a while. Ours are in WA but there must still be a few
knocking around the UK if not countries along the old Imperial cable
route. Good luck
