Lubrication Intervals for TELETYPE 28

60 wpm—3,000 hours operation or 1 year
75 wpm—2,400 hours operation or 9 mos.
100 wpm—1,500 hours operation or 6 mos.
(Based on 8-hour day operation)

As you can see, the lubrication interval for the new Teletype Page Printer is extended beyond anything before known in printing telegraphy. In fact, all elements of the new Teletype Printer have been designed with attention-free operation in mind.

There's the new featherweight carriage, featuring a 2-ounce Typebox, that replaces the conventional typebasket carriage weighing 10 times as much...and the all-steel clutch which eliminates the frequent lubrication required by the felt clutch in most other telegraph printers.

Motions are softer, loads are lighter, there's less friction, less heat.

The result is that this new Teletype Printer cuts maintenance to as little as one-fifth of that normally required for equipment not having these new features.

If you would like complete information on this revolutionary new Teletype Printer, contact your telephone company or other communications company or write to our new customer service office: Teletype Corporation, Dept. RA10, 4100 Fullerton Ave., Chicago 39, Ill.
