[GreenKeys] Teletype Industrial Design

[Richard Knoppow]

     Thank you Jim and the others who responded.  This is a treasure and 
I will have a look at at least some of them.   I have always been 
interested in industrial design although not professionally. The best of 
them were works of art without interfering with the practical utility of 
the product.
