And the company didn't call itself Teletype Corp. until 1927 or so.
I can't put my finger on the document right now, but it became
Morkrum-Kleinschmidt about 1925 and then worried about finding
a more compact name for itself.  I suppose someone more energetic
than I could search the trademark records for appearance of the
scroll logo used on that nameplate.  We know that around the time
Western Electric bought Teletype that ITT bought the rights to
make and sell the products in Europe.
