This is  an instructional film from BT which illustrates some mechanisms in 
 a
teleprinter (but not the  clutch/selector).

Produced by the GPO Film Unit. Models are used to  demonstrate the working 
of
a teleprinter. Shown is how the pressing of a  key on the keyboard generates
a five unit teleprinter code, is then  transmitted as a serial code to the
teleprinter line and finally is decoded  to select the correct character on
the type wheel of the printing mechanism  of the receiving  teleprinter.
