[GreenKeys] Character wheel test bench + more goodies

[Duncan Brown]

Pete,

Another interesting find!  Thanks!!

All of these artifacts have a Museum code starting with "1986" which is 
when the Teletype Corp Museum was shut down and its collection dispersed 
to other museums. So these items probably came from the original 
Teletype Corp. Museum.

The first item, "Test Set, print wheel" is labeled "Kleinschmidt 
Escapement Tape Printer" in the Teletype Corp. Museum Book. The 
description says it used "A multi-wire (corresponding to each character 
on the typewheel) input".  This seems like an old technology (c1850) to 
be used in 1928??  Also, in 1928, the company name would have been 
"Morkrum-Kleinschmidt Co." or "Teletype Corp.".  But the Museum book 
also gives the c1928 date for this item.

I don't know where the Canada Science & Technology Museum got the 
"Federal Republic of Germany" for the "manufacturer location." I will 
bug them about that!

Have fun,

Duncan
