I remember seeing something from around 1960 which said that
about 150,000 Model 15 machines had been made.  Or maybe it was
300,000.

Teletype News recorded in Jul-Aug 1960 production of the 100,000th
Model 28 typing unit.  The first units were produced in 1950; and
the armed forces had first priority on all production until the
end of the Korean war in 1953.

In Jun-July 1964 celebrated production of the 100,000th Model 28
keyboard and 200,000th Model 28 typing unit.

April 1967 noted production of the 100,000th LPR reperforator

March 1968 noted 50,000th LAK (28 ASR) keyboard produced in 1965
and 100,000th in 1968.

Dec 1969 Model 32/33 being produced at rate of 600 units per day

Jun 1973 - 400,000th LP (Model 28) printer made.

Nov-Dec 1974 celebration of the 500,000th Model 32/33

Aug 1976 - the 600,000th Model 32/33 machine was decorated in bicentennial
colors
