Dial TWX,or TELEX II as WUT called it, used F1 and F2 frequency
pairs. These were model 28s, 33s, 35s and a few M15s and M19s.. all
had 101A, B, or C datasets (modems) on or in them. The TELEX or
TELEX I machines were M32s... they used loop current, not Originate
and Answer frequencies.
I once set a Bell System record for installing and testing 13 Model
33ASR TWX machines in one long day. Of course we later sold the
whole system to Western Union under court orders from the federal
government.
