[GreenKeys] Number of teleprinters built

[Henning DF3OE]

Nico,

just count the numbers of TELEX subscribers all over the world, there was at
least one machine behind each
of them plus all the private (press, military etc.), telegram and radio
networks...

I would say it goes to at least a million machines an more that were
produced all over the years.

regards,
Henning
