The "AP Style Book for Teletypesetter Circuits," which is online at:
http://www.hotmetalservices.com/downloadable_documents.htm
has one example of a header for a TTS (not TTY) story, explained.
There must have been a similar AP book for 5-level TTY, but I'm unaware
of it. They did use "eyeball" sequences intended to be readable
on the tape (for the story numbers). Sam Hallas has a good writeup
about these at:
http://www.samhallas.co.uk/repository/telegraph/eyeball.htm
Thanks again for both the scans and your commentary/analysis.
Regards,
David M.
