[GreenKeys] Musical Teletype Machines

[Don Robert House]

Hi Tom,

I do not have any of these tapes, however I had a musician working for  
me at the suburban data test center at Illinois Bell.
When not busy testing or talking with customers he would sit at our  
35ASR, tap his foot and compose tunes by timing the bell with deletes.
He also made up a tape that was a favorite of the Model 15 repairmen.   
The typebox was not as effective as the M15 carriage.

BOYS AND GIRLS CAN HUG AND KISS BUT THEY GET IN TROUBLE WHEN THEY GO  
LIKE THIS... FIGS  LTRS FIGS LTRS FIGS LTRS FIGS LTRS FIGS LTRS BELL  
BELL

The above message also worked pretty well on the M37 due to the size  
of the typebox.

Hi gang:

While rummaging thru some pix, I located not a pix, but something  
entirely different. (to me)

Apparently this tape played different "songs" on the TT bells.

The text is as follows:

-------------------------------------------

SOME SONGS OF CHRISTMAS
  FEATURING SANTA CLAUS AND HIS MAGIC GLOCKENSPIEL

JINGLE BELLS
JOY TO THE WORLD
DECK THE HALLS
RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER
AND NOW, MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL:::::::::::
A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

REPLAYED BY -DON-  WA6PIR - ENCINO, CALIFORNIA -- HAVE A GOOD....

Does anyone have this tape in its entirety?
Would you be willing to lend it to me to copy?

Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year to all.
