[GreenKeys] WU Tape Transmitter 7595-B

[Ralph Irish]

These were on the 'surplus market' back in the 1960s.  (Meshna, or others of that era).  I was
all set to buy one, since it was considerably cheaper than a 14TD.  A good friend, Keith Petersen,
told me tha these were  TRANSMITTERS  only, with no distributor.  They were used by WU in groups,
and elaborate switching switched a  DISTRIBUTOR  to the  TRANSMITTER  that was needed.  They had
to be 'pulsed' by some independent device to advance the tape and read the next character in the
DISTRIBUTOR for wire line transmission.  Since I was more interested in something 'plug-n-play',
I looked elsewhere.

I was told that 'message centers' used these in large numbers and that the  DISTRIBUTORS  wore out
first, since they were usually out-numbered 5 to 1 or more.
