[GreenKeys] Kleinschmidt Drum Printer

[Teletypeparts]

Thanks to all for the nudges to my memory.  Kleinschmidt 311 was the printer, RO at McConnell AFB in Wichita.  I still think we called it Comet III.  We finally left the spare at the site with the capability for the operator to switch.  This after many callouts in the wee hours of the morning.

 In the book 'RTTY from A to Z" by Durward J. Tucker (1970) there are pictures 
nd descriptions of both the 311 and 321 - pages 153 and 154.

hanks to everyone who commented on the Kleinschmidt Drum printers. 

 had seen an AN/FGC-80 at the signal Corps TTY school at Ft. Gordon, late 
n 1966, but never saw the insides of one.  They must have just gotten one 
n to look at, they were not teaching it yet.  The AN/UGC-74 was designed 
y Kleinschmidt and around the same time period, (they are both in the 1970 
LI Military catalog) so they may have shared some designs.  The KLI 
atalog also shows an AN/FGC-140 that looks like a FGC-80 "ASR" (page 
rinter with tape punch & reader). 

n  E. E. Kleinschmidt's book, "Printing Telegraphy...A New Era Begins" 
1963, there is mention and pictures of two new comercial units: the "Model 
11 Electronic Data Printer" and the "Model 321 Automatic Data Set" (aka 
SR) which would do up to 400 wpm.  But no details of construction. 

ave fun,
