[GreenKeys] Wheatstone/Morse Perforator on eBay...

[Don Robert House]

The Morkrum Kleinschmidt later Teletype Corporation Morse Perforator was
a very popular product spanning many years.

According to it's inventor, Edward E. Kleinschmidt, one of the  
earliest produced
was returned to him by a customer who had used it every day for over  
30 years.
I am glad I have his book... the price below is for an autographed  
copy...

Dave,

It may be a "teletype" but it is not a "teleprinter" or  
"teletypewriter".
It is a "Weatstone perforator" or 'Morse perforator" made by the  
Teletype
Corporation. It punches two rows of holes and was used to transmit
high-speed Morse Code.

Since it says "Teletype Corporation" on it, this unit is no older than
about 1925.

Have fun,

Duncan
