>> My actual finished product knowledge from Teletype will be a bit superficial; because during my time there I worked in the semiconductor lab evaluating sample solid state devices (for possible purchase and use in Teletype product), and also lending SEM/Failure Analysis support to Teletype's CMOS fabrication group.

>> Next month; I will get my father-in-law introduced to you and your website as soon as he returns to the midwest (he winters in Florida).  I believe he can add some stories and be a possible resource on Teletype product.  He worked in many departments at Teletype during his career, including:

>> >Various R&D assignments

>> >Worked on a number of special customer projects, including product designed for Holiday Inn and American Airlines accounts

>> As for my wife and the Model 37 photo:
>> Her maiden name was Karen Delahunty, now Karen Koht
>> I also have somewhere in my personal photo collection, a full 8x10 advertising "proof photo" of her operating a different Teletype unit.  Whenever I find that one I will email you a copy.
