Teletype Sources and Bibliography

image link-topic-sf0.jpg

1. Introduction

Aside: These Notebooks discuss conventional "5-Level" Teletype and compatible equipment. There is also (or will also be) literature on the 6-level Teletypesetter and related equipment scattered about CircuitousRoot. See the 'T' section of the CR Typefoundry & Press Topic Index for Tape-Controlled Composing Systems, the Teletypesetter, and so forth.

Note, however, that some equipment could be equippped and/or used at multiple levels. If it is primarily a Teletype Corporation product (such as the BRPE punch) I'll cover it here.

2. Primary Websites

http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/greenkeys/ The archive of the Greenkeys mailing list, with a link to subscription information. The Greenkeys list is essential.

http://www.navy-radio.com/ Nick England's "Navy Radio" site, which has an excellent collection of TTY documentation. Moreover, he maintains comprehensive lists of Teletype Corp. and US Navy Teletype manuals at:

http://www.rtty.com/ This site, by George Hutchison and Bill Bytheway, has a great deal of information, including a good technical library with reprints of machine schematics.

http://www.hertzmail.com/TTY/ The TTY section of Eugene Hertz' site. This is a remarkably extensive collection of original documentation, most of which was scanned by Jim Haynes.

http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/teletype/ The Teletype section of Al Kossow'w http://www.bitsavers.org/, with several Teletype technical documents. Kossow is now Curator of Software at the Computer Museum.

http://www.baudot.net/ Gil Smith's site. Good collection of documents about Teletype history and links to technical documentation.
