[GreenKeys] AN/UGC-129 Tactical typewriter

[Chris Elmquist]

Hmm...  interesting:

http://www.qsl.net/w6ger/pdfdocs/UGC129.pdf

page 8 of that PDF discusses the speeds, interface levels, etc.
Note it is both 20mA and 60mA capable as well as BAUDOT and ASCII
from 45.5 to 2400 baud.

A picture of one here,

and a chance maybe that guy, Ed Peet, might have worked on them at
Tracor in 1979??
