What is TELETYPE?

A Teletype Printer is a communications device -- with a keyboard similar to a typewriter -- that enables you to send and receive printed messages. With it, written word can be sent instantaneously by wire...within the office or plant...or clear across the country; to a single destination...or to any number at the same time.

In today's business world, in fact, Teletype equipment is often more than a communications instrument. It is a basic element in production control sytems...its ability to transmit and reproduce text and punched tape is harnessed to office automation...it provides a "conveyor system" for channeling complex raw data to a computing center thousands of miles away.

Whether leased through your telephone company or other communication companies -- or purchased outright from us -- the versatile line of Teletype equipment can be tailored to almost any conceivable demand. For further information, contact your telephone company or other communications company, or send for our free booklet, "The ABC's of Teletype Equipment," Teletype Corporation, Dept. F7, 4100 Fullerton Ave., Chicago 39, Illinois.
