This machine is talking to a factory in Atlanta

The typist at this Teletype machine is filling out a production order form—just as she would on any ordinary typewriter.

But as she types, an extraordinary thing is happening. She is communicating with another Teletype machine miles away. The distant machine is following every move she makes with robot-like obedience. When she skips three lines, it skips three lines. When she types"...649K APPLY STOCKS...", the Teletype printer in Atlanta will type those same words in the same space on an identical form.

And after production is programmed at the factory in Atlanta, you can use this same machine to send and receive sales orders, payroll checks, personnel records, and invoices (as well as plain ordinary messages). Also, this single Teletype machine can send information to several destinations at the same time—cross office or cross country.

Remember, too, that when the day's work is over, you have a printed record at each location. You also have a punched tape record which can be fed directly into your computer for further data handling.

For more information, contact: Teletype Corporation, Dept. 13L, 5555 Touhy Avenue, Skokie, Illinois.

This type of equipment is made for the Bell System and others who require dependable communications at the lowest possible cost.
