Yeah, it's a magnetic tape recorder for a Teletype Model 43 Glass
TTY. The 43 was widescreen, at 132 characters, like green-bar paper.
There was no paper punch for it, and the Model 40 served the same
function electronically as a paper tape punch/reader, only faster.

Ack. My bad. It's ALSO a Model 40 TTY. So is the Printer, it's a
Model 40 Printer. Sorry... I knew it was 40-something, and Model 43
jumped to mind, having used one extensively. Looking back, it sure
seems dumb to use the same model number for all three... and maybe more?

Are there 2 different Teletype 43s, then? The Model 43 that I know is a
dot-matrix prining terminal.
