I worked on a machine called a TeleAutograph while at Kadena AB on Okinawa from mid 1968 to early 1970.  Sounds like the same thing.  It was used to relay changing weather/field conditions from the tower to the air traffic controllers buried deep in the building where there were no windows.

My late father worked at Godman Field at Fort Knox from the late fifties
into the 1980s.

One machine I remember in his office consisted of a horizontal mechanism
bed loaded with paper. The machine was connected to another just like it in
the weather office. What it did was relay handwritten notes using a stylus.
The writing was duplicated in Dad’s office. The paper would scroll
vertically when the stylus moved to the upper right corner

Do any of you recall what this machine was called?  Even better would be
the actual manufacturer name, part number, etc.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
