[GreenKeys] Great Teletype Fun in Georgia - photos

[Duncan Brown]

Nick - N0NCQ,

Great display at the hamfest & looks like you had a lot of interest.

One correction on the sign for the KEC/WU Model 1-A: the date for this 
unit would have been about 1913-1920 (not 1895).

Kleinschmidt Electric Co. was not incorporated until 1913 and the 5-bit 
perforated tape was invented by Donald Murray in 1899. Western Union 
purchased the North American rights to Murray's system in 1912.
(The Model 1-A would have normally been fed directly from an "Iron 
Horse" perforator, like the one in your display; so would not have been 
used with printed, partially perforated, tape.)

Thanks to Nick England for all the pictures!

Have fun,
