Another museum on i-Telex

[G3WSD]

Hello everybody,

For nearly a year now I have had a Creed 444 machine on line at the Royal Air Force Signals Museum at RAF Henlow in Bedfordshire UK.
The number is 851515 and the A/B code is SIGSMUS G.

I think this is possibly the only Creed 444 on i-Telex but hopefully not the last. I know Sean has one but he has had mechanical problems with it.

Henning referred a prospective new member name of Shaun to me who also has a Creed 444.
He wanted to know the details of how I have made this double current 44 machine work on the TW39 system.
I did some diagrams for him and sent them but he has another problem where his machine is running at 75 baud.
I said ideally he needs to get the correct set of gears for 50 baud to operate on i-Telex so if anyone out there has a spare set of 50 baud gears for a Creed 444, then please let me know.

Cheers, Alf

Alf, at present I do not see me getting the 444 here going any time soon. If we have another user that needs 50 baud, there is of course a set of working gears on the one I have.

Alternatively, I wonder if they could be used a patterns to get some new gears produced?

Hi,
I hope to visit the museum in the near future. Two years ago I managed to visit Bletchley Park, your museum is the next on my list.
