Teletype Sources and Bibliography

1. Introduction

Aside: These Notebooks discuss conventional "5-Level" Teletype and compatible equipment. There is also (or will also be) literature on the 6-level Teletypesetter and related equipment scattered about CircuitousRoot. See the 'T' section of the CR Typefoundry & Press Topic Index for Tape-Controlled Composing Systems, the Teletypesetter, and so forth.

Note, however, that some equipment could be equippped and/or used at multiple levels. If it is primarily a Teletype Corporation product (such as the BRPE punch) I'll cover it here.

2. Primary Websites
