[GreenKeys] Navy Torn Tape Relay Equipment

[Jim Plummer]

Nick -  I had seen these pictures before somewhere.  Thanks for noting the web site.  I was on the other end of the island at Anderson AFB with the 1958 Communication Squadron in TTY maintenance from 1966 to 1968.  We too had a torn tape relay for weather.  It was not as elaborate the Navy set up  I think there was about four banks of TD's and reperfs each with about six devices.  I think the models were AN/FGC - 39.  The typing perferators were model 14 type gear. I'm not certain of the models or count, that was a life time ago.  Most of the equipment was Kleinschmidt in the comm centers with M28 gear at the weather center.  

I do recall a bunch of us from the TTY shop going to the Navy dump to scrounge for Kleinschmidt parts.  I don't recall all the details, but the Navy must have junked a bunch of parts.  I remember picking up several new code ring cages  and selector magnet assemblies there.  I don't recall finding any Teletype Corp parts. 

Thanks for the memory.

de Jim - K8ARY

FWIW, I've started a web page for Navy Torn Tape Relay Equipment
http://www.navy-radio.com/tty-relay.htm
- so far I have some photos from NAVCOMMSTA Guam 1968-69, and spec
sheets on a few pieces of gear - will keep adding photos and info as I
accumulate it. Any corrections, additions, comments, etc. are welcome.

cheers,
Nick
