Roy,

I think the 12 pound weight was for the civilian version, without much  
of a case.  Western Union was looking for a smaller, lower cost unit  
to use instead of the M28. In the July 1957 WUTR, the WU president is  
quoted as saying "You will be particularly interested in knowing that  
Western Union, in addition to working closely with the Teleprinter  
Corporation's people in testing and pre-production engineering of the  
equipment, has an option to buy a substantial part of the stock of  
this new company."

But for some reason the deal with WU fell through and Teleprinter  
decided to sell to the military.

Most of the ARTS article & pictures came from WUTR,  April, 1958 and  
was a reprint of a paper Bernard Howard gave at an IEE meeting in Feb  
1958.  The fact that this information appeared in the March/April '58  
issue of ARTS Bulletin shows a very short leadtime. Also, there is at  
least one picture that is not in the WUTR and they seem to be of a  
better quality in the the ARTS Bulletin. Maybe W2EBZ worked for  
Teleprinter Corp? (his QTH in 1954 &1960 is listed as New York City)

have fun,

Duncan
