Interviewer: Can you tell us, you mentioned teletype. Explain to us what it is? It’s an electric teletype, it’s an electric typing machine. It was electronic means of passing messages over circuits, whereas the typewriter sat in the stenographer’s office and she typed the letters up. The teletype, you type the messages up and then send them out over the circuit and they’re received at the other end on teletype and in page copy and they’re ripped off and delivered to the individual that it’s addressed to. We literally sent all government messages across this country by Signal Corps. Our teletype network right across this country was delivering all government traffic.
