[GreenKeys] Telewriter

[Steve Garrison]

The Teleautographs that I worked on while in the USAF during the late 60s wrote on a wide paper that was on a roll as best as I can remember.  It didn't use an 'electrical' pen, but used a ball point pen attached to rods that actuated servos to register its horizontal and vertical position on the paper.  This info was sent to the pen on the other end of the circuit that mimicked the sending pen and thus made a copy of the sending pen's message.  It was used where I was stationed to send weather updates and ground conditions between the control tower, air traffic control, and the meteorologists.
