Model 28 and is really closer to Model 37.  Maybe the Bell System wanted
to keep the '37' number 'pure' and not allow it to be associated with
the stock ticker.

Jim,

The model number for the square box ticker, of which I used to have two,
was Model 1000.  Completely different than the traditional family names.
One wonders why the M37 based ticker might have been called the 2000..

Do you or Jack Hart know when the last Teletype designed tickers were
taken out of service? And what initially replaced them?

Thanks!

Best,
Don
