[GreenKeys] Soviet teletype 1942??

[nico de jong]

I cannot vouch for the truth of it, but I've read somewhere that the 
russian part of the hotline was a Siemens T100Z, delivered by the US.

Seems logical to me,  because the difference between a T100Z and a 
normal teleprinter, is substantial.

I have the documentation if someone should be interested
