    I am not sure the print is larger but its double spaced and the 
width of the typed area is smaller, i.e., the right hand margin is much 
larger than normal. Done because the message is really part of the 
introductory titles. The "font" looks like the normal M15 font. It does 
seem to be speeded up, You Tube has speed settings, about half speed 
seems right. There are movies of Teletype machines running on You Tube, 
one of a M15 at

makes an interesting comparison.
    I guess the flashing light is just another bit of dramatic license.
    Fox made a number of these FBI promotional movies in the period 
between about 1945 and 1950.
    BTW, this video was followed by an Army training film on the AN/GRC-46

    A search for Teletype on You Tube will bring forth a lot of 
interesting stuff.
