[GreenKeys] Teletype - old photo

I agree that it looks staged. You wouldn't be tuning the RX with one 
hand and then turn on the M19 with the other when you heard a signal.

I can't explain the O-scope, but M19s where used with receivers for 
Morse Intercept operation. We had a woman come into the AWA Museum and 
when she saw the M19, told the story of being a new/young Morse 
Interceptor for ASA/NSG/AFSS/NSA (don't remember which, but she was now 
working at NSA). She was copying Morse, but instead of typing it on a 
mill, she typed on a M19 (AN/FGC-8 family). At the end of her shift, she 
was told that she was supposed to be punching tape at the same time, but 
she didn't have the M19 in the "KBD & TAPE" position. They made her stay 
and retype/punch everything she had copied!

So a SRR-13 & M19 together (without a FSK converter) could be a normal 
set-up, but it probably would not have been next to two M15s??

have fun,
