[GreenKeys] 1939 Commercial RTTY?

[David Burns]

My speculation would be that it is highly unlikely, but these folks would know for sure:

    I got a query from a writer who must have seen something about
    teletypes on my website.  He asked, first, if it would be historically
    accurate to have a shipping company in 1939 use a Teletype;
    the answer to that is clearly yes.  He then asks if, specifically,
    they might receive things such as manifests from ships (presumably
    at sea) via (radio)teletype?  Technically this was possible, of course,
    but I don't know if it was then (1939) standard practice.  Was it?
