[GreenKeys] Model 16 (?) available in West Virgiina

[Charles Ring]

http://www.prc68.com/I/Telegraph.shtml#TMN says that Model 16 was "a 
stock ticker that was not produced due to the 1929 depression". ASCII 
did not exist then, and it is hard to imagine a 7 or 8 level machine 
based on the 15 even without considering the 110 baud speed involved. I 
read long ago that 100wpm gears do exist for the 5-level 15 but that 
speed causes it to "fly apart" quickly.

However, this might be an interesting machine, and I am not too far from 
Wheeling, WV (if it is in that area) so if no one closer is available I 
might be able to pick it up.
