No Creed machines in your stash, Tony? No lurking Kleinschmidts?
Nothing like the sound (and smell) of a Teletype Model 15 clacking
away industriously at 45 WPM. And... these machines were all used
in the early days of computing... vide the Bell Labs relay
computer, and the ACE and Whirlwind and EDSAC (I believe), and many
others. Also we have just exhausted the Flexowriter Thread... I
wish I still had mine, now... snif, snif. :(

PS: If
'RYRYRYRYRYRYRY....' means anything to you... that is the
kind of gear I've bought from him. :)
Hmm... Alternating mark and space bits in Baudot/Murray code?
I would therefore guess at 5-level teleprinters or RTTY stuff...
Am I close?
