[GreenKeys] Shorpy Photo

[Larry]

One of the things that was immediately obvious was how the men and women 
were dressed.  Women properly attired and the men with ties.  Makes one 
more committed to do more of a professional job if you feel professional 
and are attired as such.

Great collection of photos so a big round of applause to DMM for his 
efforts.


Were some of those machines Model 12's, 20's or 26's?  The 14, 15 and 
28's were easily recognized of course.

Sometimes i think i'd like to have a 14 or 15 printer in the shack 
here.  Had a real nice 14 tape printer/reperf years ago but donated it 
to the local telephone museum.  So sad as now the museum is gone and no 
clue as to what happened to the tty machines.
