GEORGE,

I STILL SAY YOU SHOULD WRITE BOOKS, PLAYS, AND SCREEN PLAYS!

Dear Mr. Haynes - - -

What you are in need of is an old Air Force Manual designated "Manual  
99MA".

The Manual is very good. It tells you all about the Power Distribution
Panel.

There are complex electrical diagrams designed to enlighten savvy  
personnel
and bewilder the disadvantaged.

It discusses at length a device depicted as an "Automatic Typer".

It does state in the safety precautions that there are hazardous  
voltages
inside.

It is also somewhat adamant about the necessity of having a First Aid
Resuscitation Chart posted nearby.

It further states that you are not allowed to work on it alone.

And as the guy hawking the two widgets for $19.95 on TV implores:  "BUT
WAIT!! THERE"S MORE".

The manufacturer has issued a ninety-day warranty. All you have to do is
return it to the factory Post-Paid and they will fix it for you if the
defect is proven to be the manufacturer's fault.

The manufacturer is some Fly-By-Night bunch calling themselves the

                            TELETYPE CORPORATION
                               CHICAGO 14, ILLINOIS

The only date discernable in this crummy book is on the very first page
whereon in the upper right hand corner where it says "MAY, 1953".

The photos are in living Black and White. Close scrutiny of the photo  
of the
innards of the cabinet definitely show three, count 'em THREE, Terminal
Strips side by side, noticeably shorter than what the average teletype
enthusiast most often encounters, which is two much longer terminal  
strips.

Jim, I seriously doubt that a person of your ilk can live without a  
copy of
Manual MA99.

This manual is Rated "G" and is suitable reading for the whole family.

Of course, there is an alternative to Manual 99MA.

We teletype doctors are allowed to prescribe generics in the event
availability of the called-for medication is limited.

We here at BS, Incorporated try and find the best substitute possible,  
and
in your case we strongly recommend you consider acquiring a book  
approved by
the Navy Bureau of Ships (BuShips, in the vernacular of former swabbies,
squids, jarheads, and other flotsam and jetsam that clutter the seas and
oceans of the world) dated 9 July, 1952, and is the revered NAVSHIPS  
91713
publication, entitled:

                      INSTRUCTION BOOK

                                     for

                       TELETYPEWRITERS
                    TT-47A/UG, TT-48A/UG
                 TT-69A/UG AND TT-70A/UG

Manufactured by a knock-off company composed of varlets, cutpurses,
ne'er-do-wells and slaggards calling themselves -

                 TELETYPE CORPORATION
                      CHICAGO,  ILLINOIS

Obviously less prosperous and inferior because they were not allowed  
to put
the "14" in their company's address.

What can I say, Jim???

Supplies are running out, so call soon 360-683-3235 or 360-775-1128  
and ask
the nice man who might answer the phone to reserve you a copy of one  
of the
suggested manuals.

Both manuals come in a sturdy hard cover edition bound in classic U.S.
Government Grey, with stylish Government Black lettering.

Unfortunately, Navy version of the  manual is rated "R" due to the  
fact that
the authors of this version have included expletives such as MX-1114/ 
UG or
MX-1115A/UG, because sailors swear a lot and cannot understand the  
material
unless an off-color word or two is added to clarify the meaning of  
what the
author is trying to say.

Jim, again I beseech you and urge you to call early and avoid the rush.

Negotiate cautiously. These manuals are PRICELESS!! If you have to  
mention a
price, you CANNOT afford to buy.

We employ either US Government certified delivery, or as an  
alternative, men
in brown utility fashions can be coerced into delivering your copy,  
either
means doing so for a modest fee, to be reimbursed by the purchaser.

And now we return to our Japanese science-fact epic: "Roentgens In The  
Early
Spring" - starring Bigga Soo-nami and Meltdown Matsushita.
