The photos of your family look nice.

WUT Co. often had others make their equipment trying to buy for less  
cost than from Teletype which of course was owned by the Bell System.
The results were not usually worth the effort as the manufacturer had  
to keep from getting into patent lawsuits from either Teletype or  
Kleinschmidt Labs.

Here is a late entry into the tape printer survey.

I can't remember who gave this to me at Western Union.  I do remember  
receiving it in 1985.

I thought that I'd share it with you as it has to be a one-of-a-kind  
unit.

The unit carries WU tags, one on the cover and one on the chassis   
they read:
