A little more information: The machine shown is an ITT World Communications 32ASR Telex machine.
ITT was one of the telex companies that that did not use a rotary dial to establish a connection. ITT
subscribers used the keyboard to "dial" the number they wanted to be connected to. ITT World
Communications, RCA Global Communications, Western Union International and a few other companies
were called International Record Carriers as they were allowed to move telex traffic to and from overseas
locations. Western Union (Domestic) telex subscribers and TWX subscribers could send messages
overseas by following a protocol that would connect them through one of the International Record Carriers.
In the context of the picture, the 32ASR is a stand-in for a more historically accurate Model 33.
