[GreenKeys] Western Union Simplex Printer Wiring Cabinet 2-B : Looking for Documentation.

[Duncan Brown]

Western Union was very frugal - including with model numbers!

Charles has a WU "Simplex Printer Wiring Cabinet 2B", not to be confused 
with the WU "Simplex Tape Printer 2B"
(there may have been a WU 2B "tape reader" and a 2B "page printer", also.)

So when you are talking about WU models, you can't just say "2B". You 
have to include the description, also!


I have never seen the Wiring Cabinet 2B  before.  Thanks for the 
pictures, Charles!


Have Fun,

Duncan
