[GreenKeys] Here's an odd device - Teletype and Morse?

[Duncan Brown]

Morse telegraph operators normally typed out incoming messages on a 
typewriter as they were received.

This looks like a manual "Morse-to-Baudot" converter! The telegraph 
operator types the message he is hearing directly onto the 5-bit 
keyboard.  The telegraph key is so he can talk back on the telegraph line.

I wonder if it was home-made or a real commercial product?
