[GreenKeys] got western union handbook for teletype maintainers june12 1944 any one scanned?

[Doug Alderdice]

The "glass thing" in the middle of your photo is not a chemical 
rectifier but a pasting tool for telegrams.  The tank holds water which 
soaks a small sponge at the end a gummed tape from a printer is drawn 
through the guides as the tape is pasted to a telegram blank.  It allows 
someone to paste up a telegram from printed tape very quickly.
