[GreenKeys] IBM Radiotype

[Duncan Brown]

IBM had a teleprinter during WWII, but it was not 5 bit Baudot/Murray 
code.  Some IBM literature  makes it sound like they were the only 
company making RTTY equip during WWII.

After WWII, IBM apparently took them all back form the Military and 
destroyed them, so as not to be in competition with AT&T.

See

The ebay box is apparently some sort of control unit. It has shown up on 
ebay before.

Have fun,

Duncan
