[GreenKeys] WU Model 100 (was Movie discussion...)

[Duncan Brown]

We have a WU Model 103  at the AWA Museum.  But since it arrived without 
a power cord and there doesn't seem to be much documentation on it, I 
haven't done anything with it. (besides having other things to do)



In order to cut costs, WU designed their own teleprinter and had it 
manufactured by a typewriter company. It cost about half what a Teletype 
Corp. Model 15 did, but they were not as rugged as the M15. About 6500 
units of the Model 100-105 family were produced between about 1935-1945.

Have fun,
