[GreenKeys] museum teletype identification and sale

[Richard Dillman]

Hi Jon.  The black machine to the left is a Model 26.  The proper use of
its paper feed system depends on the associated Model 26 table.

The machine in the rosewood case is called a Kleinschmidt or "Klein" even
though it was made by Teletype.  This one is missing its chad tray.  These
were used at coast stations and point to point stations for recording
messages for later transmission, sometimes at 100+ wpm in the point to
point service.  They use the Wheatstone two level code.
