[GreenKeys] KPH photo of Teletype machines

[John Nagle]

     The machine in the KPH picture is a Model 14 tape printer with
keyboard.  It just prints, it doesn't punch, and it uses narrower tape.
I have three of those.

     The KPH picture also shows some of the accessories available.
It shows a Western Union type desk set up for gluing tape
onto telegram blanks. WU had prewired desks for different
configurations; few have survived. (Here's one in use: start at 19:20 in
the movie "Telegram for America",
https://archive.org/details/Telegram1956).  The one in the
movie was set up as a receive-only machine, but the
KPH folder shows a keyboard, copy holder, and some bins
atop the machine for messages, so that was both a send
and a receive station.

     As you probably know, the KPH picture also shows a
Model 15 Teletype at the left, a Wheatstone perforator
and its companion transmitter (loaded with a "wheel"
tape), and at the far right, what may be a Klienschmidt machine.
