Individual TTY Equipment

NOTE - This page mainly shows High-Level signaling (60ma current loop) equipment - In the 1960's, the Navy converted to TEMPEST MIL-STD-188B Low-Level signaling (+/- 6v) and there were equivalents to most all the High-Level equipment.

TT-71/UG

tt71-ug-01.JPG (51743 bytes)

printer-projector

Consists of a single unit which contains two TTY units and the optical projection system and illumination source. One of the TTY units is a M15 page-printing teletypewriter. This unit is supported within the cabinet by the projector frame which also holds the optical assembly. The other TTY unit is a M14 type-bar tape printer. The page-printer TTY produces typewritten messages, in successive lines, upon a transparent web, from which the message is projected upon a screen, 3' wide by 2' high. The tape-printer TTY typewrites the message upon a continuous strip of paper tape for reference purposes.

used for conferences and carrier briefing room - 1942 contract calls for installation aboard CV-31 through CV-40

Also used aboard Amphibious Assault Command Ships - TT-71 in use aboard USS Estes in WW2

Brief Info on Typical 1980's Equipment - also see Teletype Model 40 page

AN/UGC-77 Teletypewriter. The AN/UGC-77 is a militarized U.S. Navy standard teletypewriter that can be portable or fixed. The unit has a standard communications keyboard, 72 characters per line, friction-feed, synchronous motor, and a 7.42-unit code. Message traffic and operator notes are transmitted and received serially by means of a five-level binary permutation code. The AN/UGC-77 operates at 100 words per minute, weighs 59 pounds, and is 10 inches high, 16.5 inches wide, and 16 inches deep. Line voltage requirements are 115 V ac, single phase, 60 Hz. AN/UGC-91 is the weather symbols version,
AN/UGC-136 Teletypewriter. The AN/UGC-136 teletypewriter is a militarized, low-level, automatic send and receive teleprinter. It has storage, editing, and self-test capabilities. The AN/UGC-136 is controlled by a microprocessor with an internal solid-state memory and has full message composition and editing capabilities. It prints data nominally at 120 characters per second (1200 bps), can transmit or receive at data rates of 50 to 2400 bps, and can operate in switch-selectable Baudot or ASCII codes. The message storage module has a capacity of 12,288 characters. The AN/UGC-136CX is installed onboard submarines and the AN/UGC-136BX is installed on surface platforms. The primary difference between the AN/UGC-136CX and the AN/UGC-136BX is the AN/UGC-136BX has an LED display incorporated on the front panel to allow viewing of text for editing purposes when typed. The keyboard printer weighs approximately 59 pounds, is 8.5 inches high, 15.75 inches wide, and 17.4 inches deep. The power requirements are 115 V ac, 60 Hz, and 100 watts.
     The AN/UGC-136CX is a ruggedized send-and-receive teleprinter, controlled by a microprocessor with an internal solid state memory, and full-message composition and editing capabilities; it prints data at a nominal 120 characters per second (1200 bps). It can transmit or receive at data rates from 50 to 9600 bps to or from the message storage memory, and can operate in switch-selectable Baudot or ASCII codes. The storage capacity of 64 messages or 256K random access memory (RAM), permits the short-term storage of received messages while the operator simultaneously composes and stores outgoing messages for transmission. Multiple communication ports also provide a bulk-storage device compatibility. -  Info Page
AN/UGC-143(V) Teletypewriter. The AN/UGC-143(V) U.S. Navy Standard Teletypewriter (NST) is a fully militarized unit. It features a modular design providing the compatibility for several different configurations: receive only with or without bulk storage; send/receive without bulk storage using the keyboard; or send/receive automatically with bulk storage. It prints 150 characters per second, ten characters per inch, six lines per inch and is capable of storing 500 kilobytes (250 messages, 2 kilobytes each). The power requirements are 115 V ac, 47-63 Hz, 440 watts, single phase. It weighs 180 pounds.
    The NST is a militarized unit, has an automatic send/receive (ASR) configuration, and is normally employed in shipboard applications. The NST consists of an electronic unit, printer unit, keyboard/display unit, and bulk storage unit. The NST’s modular design makes it useable in several different configurations, including receive only (with or without bulk storage), send and receive without bulk storage using the keyboard, or send and receive automatically with bulk storage. It is capable of operation in several different modes, including simplex, HDX, FDX, asynchronous, synchronous, Baudot, and ASCII. The NST throughput is 126 characters per second based on 80-character lines, including single-line advances. It line prints data at nominally 180 characters per second. It can transmit or receive data rates from 45.5 to 2400 bps Baudot and 45.5 to 9600 bps ASCII. The various configurations provide for information preparation, editing, printing, receiving serial data, buffering of information in volatile memory, and information storage (archiving).

AN/USQ-69(V) Data Terminal Set (DTS) - technical description - a general-purpose alphanumeric computer keyboard and cathode ray tube (CRT) I/O display device used in the NAVMACS message processing system. It is a central component of the OL-267(V)/UYK Data Terminal Group (DTG). The CRT Display has a 15-inch diagonal screen with a 12-inch diagonal viewing area. Each page has a 2,000-character screen capacity with 25 lines of 80 characters. Its display memory has a one-minute data protection capability during a power loss and can store up to 2,000 words per memory page. The keyboard has eight special-function keys and 12 editing and cursor control keys. The DTS weighs about 150 pounds and measures 20 x 19 x 27 inches, including a seven-inch deep keyboard assembly.

TT-624(V)5/UG or TT-624(V)6/UG Teleprinter. This teleprinter is used at CUDIXS, NAVMACS and TACINTEL installations. It may be used on-line with the AN/UYK-20 processor or off-line with tape readers, card equipment, and communications terminals. The device has a 64-character set capable of printing at speeds ranging from 365 lines per minute for 80 columns, to 1,100 lines per minute for 20 columns. It can print up to three additional copies using roll paper and five additional copies using fan-fold paper. The TT-624(V)5/UG is an ITA-2 Baudot printer with a serial MILSTD-188C interface; the TT-624(V)6/UG is an ASCII printer with an U.S. Navy Tactical Data System slow parallel interface. It weighs 270 pounds and requires 115 V ac, 60 Hz, single phase power.
TT-835/U System Console. The TT-835/U is a microprocessor-based teletypewriter communications terminal. It is used for system initialization, backup and recovery operations, and provides a record of SSIXS II shore system response and alerts. The keyboard provides man/machine interface for operator control of the SSIXS II shore operational program. The operator can enter parameters when conducting diagnostic or programmed maintenance testing.
RO-600/U Line Printer. The RO-600/U is a microprocessor-based receive-only printer. It is connected to the on-line AN/FYK-29 and is used to print incoming or outgoing messages and system reports. This device is employed in SSIXS II installations.
