Hello for Russ WA3FRP

#1

Beitrag: # 7146Beitrag WA3FRP »

Hello, my name is Russ from West Chester near Philadelphia in Pennsylvania USA

In 1969, after receiving my Electrical Engineering Degree, I worked as Resident Engineer of the main Telex exchange in Philadelphia for the Western Union Telegraph Company. While most of the Telex exchange equipment in the USA was manufactured by Siemens, this exchange, the CSR-4, was manufactured by ITT in Milan, Tennessee USA.

Other assignments followed and I eventually was responsible for all of the Telex exchanges in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. While the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Newark, New Jersey Telex exchanges were manufactured by ITT, all of the remaining exchanges were manufactured by Siemens.

In Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh has a Siemens TW-39 Telex Exchange (replaced in 1974 with an ITT CSR-4) and the following cities had a Siemens TWK-4 Telex Exchange: Allentown, Erie, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Norristown, Reading, Scranton, State College, Williamsport and York.

In New Jersey, the following cities had a Siemens TWK-4 Telex Exchange: Asbury Park, Boundbrook, Hackensack, Morristown, New Brunswick, Passaic, Peterson, and Trenton.

In Delaware, the city of Wilmington had a Siemens TWK-4 Telex Exchange.

My i-Telex machine, a Teletype Model 28 ASR, came from my days at Western Union. Almost all of the customer Telex machines in the USA were Teletype Model 32 ASRs. However, the Western Union business offices almost exclusively used the Siemens T100.

The use of a Teletype Model 28 ASR in Telex service was unusual and I am happy that this rare machine has been preserved to one again serve as a working Telex machine.

I am also an Amateur Radio operator. You can find me on the HF radio bands operating RTTY as WA3FRP.

Best Regards from Pennsylvania,

Russ WA3FRP

Hello Russ,

welcome on board !

Would be nice to see a photo of your quite unique machine.
I have never seen a Telex version of a Model 28ASR.

Have fun!

Hi Russ,

I was wrong that I have never seen one... ;) A couple of years ago I found attached PDF on the internet somewhere...
Western_Union_Model_28_Telex_Teleprinter.pdf
There you can also clearly see the character set of the WU machine with V and Z.


Have fun!
