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

[E.]

Don’t forget to add “Network” from 1976 to the list.  While I haven’t seen the movie in half a year, I remember the folks in the movie almost constantly walking through rooms and news rooms with a plethora of machines… then sometimes just a few machines and sometimes a room with just one (depending on the scene).  Some had custom wood covers.  It was pretty fascinating listing and seeing all the clacking behind them throughout the film… I may have to rewatch it again.

It also has a folder of Teletype - Telecommunications postage stamps, featuring examples of machines, and many examples of paper tape technology.
