Hm! I should have looked at the item detail to scrape that out myself
:-). I'm so used to those "more detail" links being bogus that I've
kinda got out of the habit of looking at them.
So, googling for AN/UGC-74 seems to imply that this is a "secure
teletype". It purports to talk Baudot code as well as ASCII. Does
anyone have any idea what makes it "secure"?
The only "secure" feature I can find in the info I have is that "imminent
memory overflow causes the printer to output memory contents automatically.
Normal message output is under the control of the operator"
Supports ASCII (ITA5) and Baudot (ITA2).
ASCII at 75 to 2400 baud
Baudot 45.5, 50 and 75 baud.
Memory 32000 chars expandable to 128,000 with bubble memory.
26V dc or 115/230V ac.
Mfr. : Honeywell, about 12000 produced for US, Australian, Canadian and
Greek armed forces.
