[GreenKeys] 1953 airborne RTTY unit

[Duncan Brown]

The original M32 manual (bulletin #200, Sep, 1947 - on-line somewhere)  
Describes the M31 as a 26VDC unit designed for airborne, shipboard or 
mobile RTTY operation.  There is no mention of a synchronous motor 
available. (But no reason it couldn't be have been fitted with one.)

My impression is that the M31 was designed for the military, but they 
didn't buy many, so Teletype Corp put a sync motor in it, put it in a 
case with a handle & sold them to WU  as "portable" wireline machines.
