[GreenKeys] New York Times Wire Room - 1942

[Duncan Brown]

 From the 1940s into the 1980s  almost all text messaging went via 
mechanical teletypewriters.  Newspapers were early adopters of the 
teletypewriter, starting about 1920, to receive news items from multiple 
sources for their newspapers.

The enclosed picture shows the New York Times "Wire Room" in 1942, where 
news items were received from multiple sources for their paper. Model 
15s in the foreground and Model 12s in the background. Accompanying text 
with the picture says:


    "September 3, 1942. "New York, New York. Wire room of the New York
    Times newspaper. Copy boy about to tear off dispatch from the
    Associated Press wire." Medium format acetate negative by Marjory
    Collins for the Office of War Information."


Have fun,
