[GreenKeys] Teletype M15 (19) with Lorenz ansback...

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

Regarding the WRU and being all retrofitted by Lorenz (or whomever else)...  The keying mechanism on the keyboards has those odd shephard's crook top ends about which I used to wonder why they were sticking out like that for no apparent reason.  That is, I wondered until I'd seen my first WRU.  But, if the WRUs were not installed by Teletype itself, they surely had anticipated such a thing to have made the keyers they way they did.

Hi all!


I too am looking for info on the Teletype M15
kbd mounted ansback assemblies...


I have several issues of M15 parts bulletins
including the later ones, and there is no referrence
to Teletype Corp'n. ever providing these
mod kits...


I have been able to note, the same Teletype
coding i.d. is used for the keyboard unit(s)
which are equiped with this Lorenz ansback
modification...


To further confound the issue, one of my
ansback equipped kbds uses figs 'C' for WRU,
while the other uses figs 'D' for WRU...


Both have the same brass Teletype i.d.
number plate...


For sure the ansback units are made by Lorenz
and retrofitted to the Model 15's by W.U. and
RCA...


Can't find any info on these mods by either
company...


Hopefully, one or more of you guys might have
some info to share...


Many tks & happy holidays to all!
