[GreenKeys] Was Model 40 - GE Terminet 300

[Nick England]

Actually, the Terminet 300 was developed in Waynesboro VA, by a different
GE division from the mobile radio people in Lynchburg VA. The Waynesboro
division was involved in numerical control, automation, etc. for
industrial/military applications.
