CuriousMarc inspects and cleans a newly arrived military Teletype Model 19, explaining its 5-bit Baudot code communication system.
A Teletype recently arrived for restoration. It's an early one, a Model 19, which actually incorporates a Model 15 keyboard and printer unit first introduced in 1930. This Model 19 was a military version made for the Army Signal Corps, and was a mainstay in WWII. The gray paint on ours indicates it was likely deployed in the Navy. It uses 5-bit serial Baudot code for communication, a predecessor of the 8-bit ASCII code that later Teletypes would use. We inspect the unit for the first time after an initial rough cleaning.
