[GreenKeys] Teletype machines TTY’s in FILM and TV list UPDATE June 2022

[Doug]

I saw a movie sighting post this morning, and decided to update my Teletypes in Movie and TV list.  I do not think it has been updated since 2016!  Their are many new additions, mostly from members here.

See the link below, for photos from some of these films and TV shows.  This site has not been updated in a long time, but many will enjoy looking at it again.  It also has a folder of Teletype - Telecommunications postage stamps, featuring examples of machines, and many examples of paper tape technology.
