[GreenKeys] Basic autostart question

Greetings Greenkeys Friends -

I subscribed to GK for several years, several years ago.  Newly retired, 
I'm back to playing with some of my neglected toys.

I am currently running a Mod 15, Mod 28KSR, and Mod 33ASR.

A friend has a number of TTY machines, and I told him of ITTY. He would 
like to have his Mod15RO (with a nice ASSOCIATED PRESS placard on it) be 
operational with autostart -   wake up, print something, go back to sleep.

I have spent some time researching this, but the actual 'orthodox' 
electronic / electrical method of how ITTY communicates Autostart isn't 
clear yet. So given I have ITTY, and a working TU, loop supply, etc., 
and a Mod15 - how does the relay

in the 15 know when to start, and stop, the motor?

I can copy ITTY FB, can read it using FLDIGI, and as soon as the 15 gets 
finished with it's lube/tweak/adj work on the bench, I'll use it and the 
28 for printing ITTY in the shack.


TIA!
