I spent  my year in RVN (1967) maintaining TT-4As, -4Bs & -4Cs.  

The  most recent TM on the TT-4 I have seen is a change notice to TM  
11-5815-206-12, dated 13 Jan 1984. So the Army apparently used the TT-4 for  over 
30 years!!

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
