[GreenKeys] Telautograph

[Steve Garrison]

We had them on Kadena AB on Okinawa in the mid to late 60s. The air traffic controllers and the tower personnel used them for quickly changing weather or other info needed in real time.  The land lines used to tie them together were a constant problem when it rained.  Every time it rained (quite often) the calls started coming in.  Teletype maintenance took care of them.
