[GreenKeys] RFT T-63 connected to twitter

[Duncan Brown]

The T-63 was the only mechanical teleprinter that could type in two 
different alphabets. It had three shifts (three characters on each type 
bar).  Besides the regular figures and letters (Latin alphabet), a 00000 
("Blank") would switch it to Cyrillic characters. It was produced by RFT 
in East Germany from the 1950s into the 1980s.

We have one at the AWA Museum with a wooden case and a Telex control box.

Have fun,
