I have not heard about 60mA - at least not in the Telex network.
All mechanical 5 step teleprinters I have ever seen and owned run on 
40mA. And my test equipment has a mark on the scale at 40mA.
I thought that this is international. But I also know that with respect 
to teleprinters there are some CCITT norms that are internationally used 
- except for the US.
It starts with ITA2 code which is the official international 5-bit telex 
code. But US uses "US-TTY" which slightly differs.

Only the ASCII stuff (asr 33/35 etc) run on 20mA. But that's a totally 
different thing.
