  Teleprinter encryption
Soon after the first teleprinters were put into operation, equipment for the encryption of teleprinter signals was constructed.
The teleprinter could be directly connected to the cipher equipment, hence it was possible to transmit and receive in ``real time'', so saving a lot of time.
In the crypto department this encryption method, consisting of adding a key character to a plaintext character, irrespective of how the key character was generated, was called ``overlaying''.

  Teleprinter Summary
Because Telex I teleprinters use the Baudot code and Telex II (TWX) teleprinters use the ASCII code, and transmit at different speeds, exchange of messages between the two systems is somewhat delayed while a processing computer does the necessary conversions.
A predecessor to the teleprinter, the stock ticker machine, was used as early as the 1870s as a method of displaying text transmitted over wires.
A global teleprinter network, called the Telex network, was established in the 1920s, and was used through most of the 20th century for business communications.

 G8TGL RTTY TERMINAL UNIT by SM0VPO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
A normal teleprinter coil requires 80/80 volts to energise the coil, but this is connected in series with a 2.7K resistor to give a sort of constant current.
The teleprinter coil never has more than 20 volts accross it, so we can use semiconductors to limit the current with a supply voltage of less than 30 volts.
To align, short the teleprinter keyboard input terminals and adjust the RIGHT-HAND 4K7 pot for an output frequency of 1275 Hz.

 ITT Creed Model 444 teleprinter
The teleprinter motor is started again when a space element is received from line, or when the ‘letters’ key on the local keyboard is operated.
The receiving margin of the teleprinter with single-current operation is substantially the same as that with double-current operation and is independent of the line resistance.
Electrical connection to the teleprinter is by means of two flexible cables which plug into sockets located on the teleprinter 50-way plug box.

 The First Teleprinters
By 1914, teleprinters were being used by the Associated Press to deliver copy to newspaper offices throughout America, and by the early 1920s they were in general use around the world.
Stibitz then proceeded to astound the attendees by allowing them to pose problems which were entered on the teleprinter; within a minute, the teleprinter printed the answers generated by the computer.
of the teleprinter in the computing industry were numbered; they were eventually supplanted by the combination of computer keyboards and video displays, and the sound of teleprinters chuntering away in the back of computer rooms is now little more than a nostalgic memory.

 The hiker who cracked the codes - smh.com.au
The messages were typed into a Lorenz SZ40 teleprinter to be immediately enciphered and sent over the ether to another machine which automatically deciphered them and printed them out as plain text.
The teleprinter's transmission system used the standard Baudot five-bit teleprinter system, a binary code in which each letter is made up of a series of five elements, or "bits".
This consisted of either a "mark", the equivalent of the binary 1 and denoted by a cross, or a "space", the counterpart of the binary 0 and represented by a dot.

 Telex Telecommunications Network Basic Frequently Asked Questions
The telex equipment started with mechanical teleprinters, now the latest teleprinters are built around a microprocessor, disc drive, keyboard, VDU, printer together with word processor software to enable the operator to prepare, edit and store messages for later onward transmission.
It worked using a single-tone voice frequency carrier signal of 1500 cps which was keyed on and off by the teleprinter keyboard, a tone for a space element and no-tone for marking and idle periods.
Within a short space of time, the number of teleprinter subscribers increased to such an extent that it was more advantageous and economical to have an independent telegraph network both national and international.

 Cryptographic Equipment
Though several different types of on-line cryptoequipments are in use throughout the naval communications system, they are all designed to perform the same basic function: to encipher and decipher teleprinter or digital data signals.
At the receiving station, the composite signal (tone package) is demultiplexed (separated) into individual signals and distributed to separate teleprinters, as required.
At the receiving end, two or four corresponding converters may be used; the converter having the stronger signal input automatically provides the signal to be used by the receiving teleprinter.

 TELEPRINTERS FOR THE RADIO AMATEUR
There are many different types of mechanical teleprinter which become available on the surplus market from time to time, but we will only concern ourselves with the ones which are most liable to be encountered.
The receiving section of a teleprinter usually consists of a form of electro-mechanical relay, often called the electro-magnet, with a fairly high inductance, perhaps up to 4 Henrys, and a low DC resistance, perhaps only 200 Ohms, which responds to the incoming signalling impulses.
Normally applied to the model 7 teleprinter to indicate that the machine has been modified for the Telex service, and that it is fitted with motor on-speed contacts, an improved answer back unit, and a 33 way signals plug.

 Telekrypton
His theory was that the five-unit electrical impulses produced by a teleprinter, when directly connected with a wire, could be mixed at the moment of transmission with a second series of impulses to give a third and meaningless series.
This last would appear upon the receiving teleprinter as a mere jumble of characters unless the second series of impulses were removed before the message was printed.
The code tape, which consisted of a string of random teleprinter characters, was joined at the ends to form a loop.

To meet this requirement in the case of in-local working, the return of the call-connected signal has to be delayed until the moment when the teleprinter of the obtained subscriber has in effect been connected to line (see Recommendation S.9 [3]).
In order to restrict charging on unsatisfactory calls, the particular interval should be kept as short as possible and should not exceed 3 seconds for new networks or 6 seconds for existing networks.
U.1 signal may comprise the answerback code of the teleprinter or a group of teleprinter characters identifying the service point or switchboard position.

 PDP-8 Console Teletype Instructions
The teleprinter buffer register holds the character that is to be output to the asynchronous interface.
Modifying this register while it is being used to generate output may produce unpredictable results, but on early models of the asynchronous interfaces (prior to the M8655), repeatedly writing zero to this register was an effective way to emulate the pressing of the break key on a teletype.
One problem with the design of the TTY interface is that the teleprinter flag, like all device flags, is cleared on reset and powerup, but for many purposes, it would be better to have this flag set, indicating that, at startup time, the teleprinter buffer register is ready to receive one character of output.

 SWEDISH SA TELEPRINTER CIPHER SYSTEM Cryptologia - Find Articles
Being a country with a policy of neutrality, Sweden could not seek assistance from foreign nations; up until the late 1970's expertise in the cryptographic area could almost exclusively be found in the nations SIGINT organizations.
In 1948 the inventors P-E Ahlman,A Lindegren, and V Lindstein filed a patent application for a teleprinter cipher machine which was known by the abbreviation SA5.
Boris Hagelin and his company AB Crypto Teknik, on which Sweden had relied on as a supplier, were in the process of relocating[3] to Switzerland, consequently, before long, Sweden would be without a domestic cipher company.

 Teleprinter console - Patent 4058355
In the case of mobile teleprinters or data printers, such as those used in outside broadcasting vehicles for example, a major problem is presented by the casing used to protect the printer equipment against excessively heavy shocks during transportation.
It is known in the case of teleprinters to use stable casings for transportation purposes, but these casings have to be removed at the place at which the teleprinter is to be set up and used.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a teleprinter or data printer console which includes bracket means which may be used alternatively as a support for the console in a ready-for-use position and as a transportation aid when the equipment is to be moved.
