The AN/FGC-1 came out before the 50's.  They were
paired with two AN/FRR-3 receivers, same size racks.
The used 850 Hz shift; 2125 and 2975 audio freqs.
I first encountered them in USAF in 1949, and they
had been around for years even then.  I am of the
opinion that they were the primary equipment for
long-haul teletype prior to and during WWII.  What
do you plan to do with the restored unit?  I may
have a 255 relay here someplace.   73  Clete
