A step forward in printing telegraphy

Recent commercial and military printing telegraph communication requirements could not be fully met in an efficient and economical manner with existing equipment. This paper describes the objectives being reached in the development of a new integrated line of Teletype apparatus especially designed to adequately serve present and future printing telegraph applications and particularly covers the Teletype Model 28 Direct Keyboard Page Printer Set, Fig. 1. This set consists of a page typing unit, keyboard, electrical service unit, and their motor drive and cabinet housing. The other units which will soon be available are the tape perforator, tape typing unit, and transmitter distributor, which with the keyboard and page typing unit are so designed as to be readily arranged in many combinations to meet specific applications. Fig. 2 indicates the basic units and a few representative combinations.
