[GreenKeys] Early Teletype in the RN

[Duncan Brown]

Morkrum was using the "Teletype" scroll logo on the M11 in the early 1920s:



The Morkrum-Kleinschmidt Co. was formed on 29 Dec 1924 and continued 
using the Teletype scroll logo. The M-K name was shortened to Teletype 
Corp. in late 1928.

Enclosed is an ad from Railway Magazine of 6 Oct 1928, that shows the 
Teletype scroll logo at the top and the M-K name at the bottom.
