This is from an "Electronic Industries" magazine, of February, 1959. 
(That is what it says under the whited-out area on the top of the 
picture. I know because I'm the one who wrote it there!  KLI had a lot 
of ads in EI around that time. I found them and provided them to Ron 
Boltz at RATTRIG.COM.)

There was some discussion about this high speed reperf before. I think 
everyone decided that it must have been a prototype to see if the Signal 
Corps was interested, but apparently not. Or it could have been "Vaporware".

Note in this picture, the KLI logo of the previous picture has been 
covered up with a Signal Corps logo.  The Navy didn't seem to mind 
having the "Teletype" and logos on their equipment, but for some reason, 
the Signal Corps didn't like to see manufacturer's names on theirs.
