[GreenKeys] FWIW - MITE Corporation Annual report Feb 1967

[Duncan Brown]

Nick,

Thanks for the MITE annual report & history!

It is interesting that this Feb 1967 report says that they were still 
making the "basic" MITE teletypewriters (AN/TGC -14, -41, TT-299, 
etc.).  I was in the US Army Signal Corps Teletypewriter Repair School 
at Ft. Gordon, GA in November, 1966, and we were told that MITE had 
stopped making these teletypewriters and parts were getting hard to get. 
They told us that the Army was using them in Armored Personnel Carriers.

In 1966, the basic Signal Corps course was 19 weeks and covered the 
Teletype Corp M14, 15, & 19 (which were being phased out) and the newer 
Kleinschmidt TT-4, -76, -98 and FGC-25. I was in the Army
Security Agency and we also had an additional 9 week course that covered 
the M28 and the MITE AN/TGC-14. In four years in the Army, I never saw a 
MITE again.  We had a few M28 KSRs in radioteletype monitor positions, 
probably because of the easy of changing the typebox for different 
alphabets (ie Cyrillic).

Have fun,
