I remember seeing in the late 1950s a drum-type high speed printer in the
lab at Teletype.  It had been made from the Signal Corps, believe it was
FGC-36 or something like that.  But Teletype decided not to pursue that
technology.  At the time it used thyratron tubes to drive the print
hammers.  So I guess the SigC took their wishes to KL where it did result
in a product.  And also the UGC-74, which I understand was a KL design
but manufactured by others.
