 I'm fascinated and a little horrified by this.  Was there really a teletype
 that could print on toilet paper without shredding it?  Or is it that the
 US Government in the 1950s made its employees use TP that was tough enough
 to survive a run through a teletype?!?!  Egad! 
I don;t know about the States, but over here there was a government issue 
TP that had a glossy finish (!). It was generally nicknamed 'cowboy' (or 
similar on the grounts it's rough, it's tough anf it don't take no sh*t.

I suspect you could feed that through any teletpye...
