[GreenKeys] UPPER and LOWER case (fwd)

[Thomas Tillson via GreenKeys]

I beg to differ on your explanation of the two bells.
 
For a remote bell, the 15 had a MOD kit available -  # 95088
 
FYI, they also offered remote bells, buzzers and chimes
 
But then again, you are talking WU.  ;-)

Sometime way back the Associated Press wanted their printers to  have two 
bells: 
one on the machine itself and a different one that would  close a contact 
to 
ring a bell in the editor's office.  So FIGS J was  used for
one of these and FIGS S for the other.  When/where that  requirement no
longer existed somehow it fell out that W.U. went one way  and Bell
System and U.S. military and the International Telegraphic  Alphabet #2
went the other.

I don't know how that happened, but  perhaps it's also noteworthy that
in the Bell System and U.S. military and  others, where there are separate
cords for keyboard and printer, the  keyboard cord is black and the
printer cord is red.  But Western Union  used the opposite  convention.
