Here's one - a younger version of my buddy Harry who is now N9CQX, and 
who was then an officer with the River Forest IL Police Dep't.   He's 
posing in the dispatch area where a M28 KSR can be seen,  likely 
connected to what is now at least called the LEADS system.   He can't 
recall the purpose of the other machine that is partially visible behind 
the typewriter.   Maybe someone knows what model it is and what it might 
have been used for  - the blank panel on the right looks like where the 
dial would be on the later ASR-33 telex/twx machines    Harry said the 
real dispatch operator showed him how to punch a tape as a souvenir ;-)

73, Bob W9RAN
