A Teletypewriter (TTY) Installer is a professional who installs and repairs telegraphic transmitting and receiving equipment. A teletypewriter is known as an electromechanical typewriter meant for point-to-point communication. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS), a Teletypewriter Installer falls into the category of telecommunication equipment installer (telex).

A teletypewriter is also known as a teletype machine, teleprinter, or just a teletype. The installer adjusts the features, link the proper interface, and fix minor troubles. They will occasionally inspect, lubricate, and clean the terminal during a service interval for better functionality. Some companies have replaced the teleprinter with electronic computer terminals.

To become a teletypewriter, the professionals need to have essential skills which will help boost their career. They should have an understanding of transmission, switching, broadcasting, control, and procedure of telecom systems.

"Dumb terminals", such as the low-cost ADM-3A (1976) began to undercut the market for Teletype terminals. Such basic video terminals, which could only sequentially display lines of text and scroll them, were often called glass teletypes ("glass TTYs") analogous to the Teletype printers. More-advanced video terminals, such as the Digital Equipment Corporation VT100 (1978), could communicate much faster than electromechanical printers, and could support use of a full-screen text editor program without generating large amounts of paper printouts. Teletype machines were gradually replaced in new installations by much faster dot-matrix printers and video terminals in the middle to late 1970s.

While the manufacturer called the Model 33 teleprinter with a tape punch and tape reader a "Model 33 ASR", many computer users used the shorter term "ASR-33". The earliest known source for this equipment naming discrepancy comes from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) documentation,[7] where the September 1963 PDP-4 Brochure calls the Teletype Model 28 KSR a "KSR-28" in the paragraph titled "Printer-Keyboard and Control Type 65". This naming convention was extended from the Teletype Model 28 to other Teletype equipment in later DEC documentation, consistent with DEC's practice of designating equipment using letters followed by numerals. For example, the DEC PDP-15 price list from April 1970 lists a number of Teletype Corporation teletypewriters using this alternative naming convention.[8] This practice was widely adopted as other computer manufacturers published their documentation. For example, Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems marketed the Teletype Model 33 ASR as "Teletype ASR-33".



Teletype also introduced a more-expensive ASCII Model 35 (ASR-35) for heavy-duty use, whose printer mechanism was based on the older, rugged Model 28. The basic Model 35 was mounted in a light gray console that matched the width of the Model 33, while the Model 35 ASR, with eight-hole mechanical tape punch and reader, was installed in a console about twice as wide. The tape reader was mounted separately from the printer-punch mechanism on the left side of the console, and behind it was a tray for storing a manual, sheets of paper, or other miscellanea. To the right of the keyboard was a panel that could optionally house a rotary dial or Touch-Tone pushbuttons for dialing a connection to a network via telephone lines. The printer cover in later units also featured sound-deadening materials, making the Model 35 somewhat quieter than the Model 33 while printing and punching paper tapes. All versions of the Model 35 had a copy holder on the printer cover, making it more convenient for the operator when transcribing written material.

threads with questions on how to do something with teletype. some of these threads are pretty old, so things that were considered impossible might be entirely possible now. if you have a question and none of these threads answer it, post it here: Teletype workflow, basics, and questions

for additional control, you can use 16n faderbank or other i2c enabled controllers (via i2c) or grid and MIDI controllers (via the USB port). for the latter, make sure your case provides sufficient power! also, if you have an older revision of teletype (green PCB), you might need to power USB devices externally - see below.

teletype can also talk to many i2c enabled modules - telexo, just friends, er-301, disting ex and many more. see the relevant section below. use this thread for any questions on how to connect i2c devices:

nothing reveals teletype potential like i2c. it was added first to control the monome trilogy modules, but since then grew into a sprawling ecosystem - i2c enabled controllers, additional inputs and outputs, sound processors and generators, all controlled directly from teletype without patch cables.

As you can see, it was a physical device composed of a keyboard and a printer. With a teleprinter, you could type your message in plain text; it would then be encoded automatically, and sent. On the other side, a teletype could decode the message, and print it.

In the middle of the 50s, there were already a bunch of computers available. These mainframes were massive computers taking a lot of space, many of them built by IBM. At that time, teletypes were all over the world, so it was only natural to use them to send messages to a computer.

It was similar to a teletype. Instead of printing the input and output (which was slow and, due to the mechanical nature of teletypes, quite loud), a video terminal would display everything on a screen.

For example, in a multi-user context, if three teletypes were connected to your computer, you would have the file /dev/tty1 assigned to the first one, /dev/tty2 to the second one, and /dev/tty3 to the third one.

In 1869, the stock ticker was invented. It was an electro-mechanicalmachine consisting of a typewriter, a long pair of wires and a ticker tapeprinter, and its purpose was to distribute stock prices over long distances inrealtime. This concept gradually evolved into the faster, ASCII-basedteletype. Teletypes were once connected across the world in a largenetwork, called Telex, which was used for transferring commercialtelegrams, but the teletypes weren't connected to any computers yet.

There was a plethora of teletype models around, all slightly different, sosome kind of software compatibility layer was called for. In the UNIX world,the approach was to let the operating system kernel handle all the low-leveldetails, such as word length, baud rate, flow control, parity, control codesfor rudimentary line editing and so on. Fancy cursor movements, colour outputand other advanced features made possible in the late 1970s by solid statevideo terminals such as the VT-100, were left to the applications.

A user types at a terminal (a physical teletype). This terminal is connectedthrough a pair of wires to a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver andTransmitter) on the computer. The operating system contains a UART driver whichmanages the physical transmission of bytes, including parity checks and flowcontrol. In a naïve system, the UART driver would then deliver the incomingbytes directly to some application process. But such an approach would lack thefollowing essential features:

"In the history of deaf people, few events have had such significance as the development of a special type of acoustic coupler by Robert Weitbrecht, a deaf scientist, in 1964. This device, used with a teletypewriter (TTY), enabled deaf people to communicate by telephone. The telephone had been a formidable--and ironic--social and cultural obstacle for the deaf since its invention by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. Ironic, because Bell was a teacher of the deaf by vocation. His invention forever changed the way most people communicate with each other, but it thrust deaf people into a communications limbo worse than any they had known previously. Weitbrecht's device made it possible to send and receive printed messages on paper over existing phone lines simply by typing on TTYs. Thus, deaf people finally had a way of making use of Bell's creation, and this seemed no less than a miracle.

The first TTYs equipped for use by deaf people had little effect on deaf life, however. The machines were extremely large and heavy and limited in supply. In 1968, the entire network of TTYs in use consisted of just 25 machines. During the next few years, this number steadily increased as Western Union, American Telephone and Telegraph, and other businesses donated second-hand teletypewriters to the deaf community for conversion to phone use. But only a handful of private firms and public agencies obtained the TTYs, and so their practical value remained largely limited to personal calls between the few deaf people who owned them.

TTY stands for teletypewriter and it is the term preferred by the Deaf Community. You may also see the terms TT (Text Telephone) or TDD (Telecommunication Device for the Deaf); they all refer to the same equipment.

1974 358 registrants attend the first International TDI Convention in Chicago, IL hosted by the Chicago Telecommunications Club for the Deaf at the Pick-Congress Hotel. TDI publishes Teletypewriters Made Easy TTY repair manual and the How to Use your TTY consumer guide from office space and with volunteers provided by Indiana Bell.

A TTY (teletypewriter) is a device that helps people who are deaf, speech-impaired, or hard-of-hearing use a phone to communicate. While TTY devices were initially designed for landline phones, they are used today with both landlines and cell phones.
