[GreenKeys] USS Midway notes

[Bill]

I was on the U.S.S. Ranger for about 5 years. All TTY's throughout the 
ship were at 100wpm. In the comm center we also had the satt computer 
that we would program with our guard list and it would spit out a page 
almost in the blink of an eye. We would still get a copy on the "slow" 
100wpm TTY. The computer had to receive the whole message before it 
would print but the TTY would print it as it was being received. So, I 
guess the TTY was faster (?)

I'd think maybe 100WPM would have been a standard but i don't know.  Did all machines in the main receiver room terminate at one patch panel bay or were they wired direct to another machine somewhere else on the ship?  Lots a questions on this.  Come on you Navy ET's.
