[GreenKeys] Fwd: Unknown TTY ICs

[Ed Sharpe Archivist for SMECC via GreenKeys]

yepper  wondered the same  after all they were the pros  at  it.
too many companies  made this mistake in the early days.
 
there are any number of places that  could have  done it but  yea... if  
you want to stay in the family  use  WECO!

Why did  they not just have Western Electric turn their designs into 
silicon?
I  assume WE had a much more efficient FAB faculty in  operation.

Teletype did indeed make their own ICs in-house.   There is a book about
it, "Teletype, We Made That Data Move!" by Herbert A.  (Tag) Waggener.
It was quite an accomplishment.  However it was  probably a strategic
mistake for the company, in requiring a huge capital  investment for a
product that in semiconductor industry measures was small  quantity.
