OK! got it! Yes I have a 21! I am starting to understand how some
of this all comes together!
Duncan - Are you building a complete multiplex table there at AWA? That
would be cool!

Ed,
The WU model 20, 21, 22 series strip printers (made by both Morkrum and
Kleinschmidt Electric for WU) had five selector magnets and connected to
a receiving multiplexer similar to the transmit one.
So, yes, a message sent over a WU 1A tape transmitters could have been
printed out on a WU 21A strip printer.
The message could also have been printed out on a Morkrum M12 page
printer, as it was also originally designed for mux service with five
selector magnets. With the addition of a plug-in key board to the M12,
it became a "direct to line" serial machine. The keyboard had a serial
keyboard distributor (similar to what was used on the M11 and later on
the M14 & 15). The keyboard also had a "receiving distributor"
(serial-to-parallel converter) to allow the 5 separate selector magnets
to operate from the serial line.
