  • Teleprinters for the Radio Amateur
    TELEPRINTERS FOR THE RADIO AMATEUR http://www.rtty.com/England/creed1.html WWW.RTTY.COM History Hall TELEPRINTERS FOR THE RADIO AMATEUR by Alan G Hobbs, G8GOJ [email protected] There are many different types of mechanical teleprinter which become available on the surplus market from time to time, but we will only concern ourselves with the ones which are most liable to be encountered. The teleprinters that we will be considering come from three manufacturers: Creed & Company of England, the Teletype Corporation of the U.S.A., and Siemens of Germany. There are three fundamental requirements which must be considered before purchasing a machine: 1. The electrical signaling characteristics. 2. The code that the machine uses. 3. The signaling speed at which the machine operates. Signaling Characteristics Machines manufactured in the U.K. normally use what is known as Double Current or Polar signaling, in which the two signaling states, Mark and Space, are represented by current flowing in opposite directions, often +/- 20mA, with Mark being represented by a negative current flow. Whereas machines manufactured in the U.S.A. and Germany normally use what is known as Single Current or Neutral signaling, in which the two signaling states, Mark and Space, are represented by the presence or absence of current, often 60mA, the actual polarity being unimportant. Note that we are referring to current flow in each case, and not to voltages. The receiving section of a teleprinter usually consists of a form of electro-mechanical relay, often called the electro-magnet, with a fairly high inductance, perhaps up to 4 Henrys, and a low DC resistance, perhaps only 200 Ohms, which responds to the incoming signaling impulses.

    BT in the community Better World – Our Commitment to Society Better World – Our Commitment to Society/Community Community BT is committed to making a difference in society. We have a major programme of investment designed to improve the quality of life and well being of the communities in which we operate. In line with the business we are in, the central theme of our activities is improved communications. Over the past five years, we have provided more than £75 million in funding to schemes for social and community improvement. BT is a founder member of the Per Cent Club, and we donate a minimum of one half per cent of our annual pre-tax profits to not-for-profit causes. We also provide funding and support in kind which exceed one per cent. Estimates of this contribution so far show that this would make our total contribution for 2001/02 worth over £25m. Our community activities fall into four main categories: • education – from primary schools to universities, using a variety of techniques and media from live drama to web-based activities • charities and fundraising – we support a range of charities and fundraising initiatives • employee involvement – we encourage BT people to volunteer for community activities and make it easier for others to do so • arts and heritage – from modern art to the nation’s telecommunications heritage.
