[GreenKeys] Kleinschmidt Teletype archives

[Duncan Brown]

In 1924, the Morkrum Co. and the Kleinschmidt Electric Co. got into a 
patent suit. Rather than sue each other to death, with only the lawyers 
winning, they decided to join forces. The new company was initially 
known as the Morkrum-Kleinschmidt Co. In 1928 they renamed the company: 
Teletype Corporation. (Morkrum had been using the name "Teletype" as a 
model name.)

In 1930, when AT&T bought Teletype Corp., Edward Kleinschmidt left and 
set up Kleinschmidt laboratories and continued to do research for 
Teletype Corp on a contract basis for a few years. Edward Kleinschmidt 
developed a new light weight and compact printer, but Teletype Corp. was 
not interested in it. When the contract ran out, Edward Kleinschmidt 
retired and moved to Florida.

During WWII, the US Signal Corps realized the importance of the 
teletypewriter, but wanted something more tactical and lighter weight 
than the M15.  Edward Kleinschmidt came out of retirement and showed the 
Signal Corps his lightweight design of ten years earlier, which they 
liked.  Kleinschmidt Laboratories worked with the Signal Corps to 
develop the TT-4 (AN/PGC-1), which became the Signal Corps standard 
printer starting in 1950.
