[GreenKeys] Auction Western Union Items in OH January 4

[John Spigel]

Harold, Yes, Weston instruments are well known and the company survived 
for many years. They were in Newark, N.J., my birthplace, along with 
Westinghouse where my Dad worked, G.E. lamp, RCA tube, Tung-Sol, Edison, 
and many many others. An interesting item in the auction is a morse tape 
printer, probably vintage 1830-1840. The "instructograph" you mentioned 
was for the American Morse code as can be read on the tapes. Again, some 
is museum stuff.
