[GreenKeys] MITE (was W.U. Model 100 series teleprinters)

[Duncan Brown]

Thanks, Nick.

I was surprised that I hadn't seen that site, but it is only a couple 
months old! It is the most comprehensive site I have seen on the MITE.

The US Army did use them some of  them.  We were trained on them in the 
Army Security Agency add-on TTY Repairman school at Ft. Gordon in 1966.  
We were told then  that the company was out of business and it was 
getting hard to  get replacement parts.

We have a couple at the AWA museum and they are so compact that it is 
very hard to work on them. They do have some electronics in them.  The 
selector magnet operates on 24 VDC at 600ma as I remember. There is an 
option for a low level input (1-10ma?) and I have operated one directly 
off the serial port of a computer.

Have fun,

Duncan
