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.
