[GreenKeys] Western Union 7C tape transmitter?

[Tom Owad]

Jim, I’ve downloaded a PDF of the book you recommended and am looking through it. Thank you.

Duncan, if you could check you book at the museum, I’d be grateful. It looks like your museum is about 4.5 hours north of me. I’ll need to plan a visit.

If there’s anybody near south-central PA with a little free time, I’d love to take a close look at a running teletype. I’ve never seen one in person that was operational, which is a daunting starting point.

I’m looking at some magazine plans from the 50’s that call for one, so it would have probably been available as surplus at that time, but I haven’t been able to find any other information about that model, or where it was used. If anybody has any information on it, I’d be grateful, and I’d especially like to find one.
