[GreenKeys] Can you identify the equipment in this picture?

[Don Robert House]

I can identify the equipment to some degree.

The young woman with the checked dress with her back to the camera is  
an operator of the "Iron Horse" a magnet operated tape punch.
I have one here in nice operating condition.  Jim Haynes knows the  
designation.  The young woman looking at the camera is also a punch  
operator.
The lady at the left with her back to the camera is sitting in front  
of a model 10 page printer.  Looks like a cover over the keyboard.

The lady next to the man standing is sitting in front of another early  
page printer, similar to the one I have here that no one has been able  
to identify.
I believe the tape transmitter is blocked from view.  You can see some  
reels next to the mystery printer.

It's a very high resolution picture of what appears to be very early  
printing
telegraph equipment.  This gear looks earlier than the Model 12, yet
it doesn't seem to be early Morkrum equipment.  There's are two keyboard
units and two page printing units, each with its own operator.  No sign
of paper tape.

There's an equipment table with huge electromagnetic tuning forks,
and what looks like eight polar relays.  This is probably a
multiplexing system.
