A mention of a "KSR-27 teletype" caught my attention in these memos on the
formation of the DEC Computer Museum in 1979. I'd never heard of this model and
I'm surprised it's not one of the more typical models used with a computer. Does
anyone know anything about the Model 27?

This site on telegraph equipment says
Model 27 - referenced in museum book - says that is the model number for
TT-4/TG (XC-2) a proposed military machine with a typing unit like a Model
26 and a keyboard like a Model 31. Says only 10 units were made. Note that
the production TT-4/TG is a Kleinschmidt machine.
