Note the difference between the two versions of bulletin 217B.  The '59 
version doesn't use the RO and KSR, but the '64 version uses "Receive 
Only (RO)" and "Keyboard Send Receive (KSR)" designations.   Earlier 
documentation calls the KSR a "complete set"..  I'm looking at title 
pages and picture captions, you might find other references within the 
documents.
So it appears the terms became common in the early Sixties.

There doesn't appear to be that much automatic about an ASR when looking 
back from this century, but it was the cat's pajamas back then.  I know 
I listed for one back then.
Now when you look at some of the versions they built for customers like 
Delta they did get a lot of automatic.
