Minor comment on Signal Corps practices.  Unlike USN,  Signal Corps 
equipment nameplates show the Order Number.  A Signal Corps  Contract was a generic 
document that basically authorized a contractor to  accept Orders and get 
paid for them.  The (usually) last two digits in  the Order Number are the 
last two digits of the Federal Fiscal Year.   Which from the first FD 
Roosevelt administration until the first Reagan  administration ran from 01 JULY of 
the previous calendar year to 30 JUNE of  the year listed.  So if the Order 
Number is dated 1951, depending on lead  times and available stock on hand, 
the first deliveries could have been in the  second half of 1950.  
Especially if it was a re-order.

Ed,

Kleinschmidt manuals available at _http://rattrig.com/manuals/tm%27s.htm_ 
(http://rattrig.com/manuals/tm's.htm) 

It  looks like the contract date is "51", so it was probably made in the 
mid  50's.  In 1967 in RVN, the Army was using TT-4A, B &C models.   The TT-4 
was the new Kleinschmidt Co.'s first product and was accepted by  the Signal 
Corps as their standard teletypewriter c1950 to replace the  Teletype Corp. 
M15.

Note the hooks on the side of the bottom plate  that are not used to secure 
the cover. They are to allow you to strap it to  your pack frame for "easy" 
transportation!   (after all it is  "portable": TT-4 is major component of 
AN/PGC-1)

Looks like a "parts"  machine, or leave the cover on!


HAVE  FUN,

Duncan
