[GreenKeys] AN/fgc-80 used to have one did not know what it was at the time

[Duncan Brown]

Ed,

AN/FGC-80 was Kleinschmidt Labs electronic TTY from c1966. It was mostly 
electronic and could do 5-bit Baudot/Murray and also 8-bit ASCII.  I saw 
one in the Signal Corp TTY school in late 1966, they had just gotten one 
in, but had not started teaching it yet.

At some point Kleinschmidt became a division of Smith Corona Marchant 
(SCM).  KLI was the major supplier of TTY equipment to the Army & Air 
Force c1950-1980.

I'll send you (& anyone else interested) some info on the AN/FGC-80 
directly (files too big for Greenkeys)
