USS Adirondack (AGC-15)
Radioteletypewriters in use circa 1946.
Radioman Second Class J. V. Miceli is shown in the foreground
seated at the Model 19 teletypewriter used in copying MERFOX
radio broadcast schedules. He is using the tape machine next
to the teletypewriter to work with a message punched onto paper
tape. Seaman First Class J. K. Wooster is seated at a Model 19
teletypewriter that was used to handle traffic to and from NSS,
the Navy's long-range communications station at Annapolis, Md.
Behind him are two Model 15 teletypewriters. The transfer panel
on the rear bulkhead was used for connecting various teletypewriters
throughout the ship. The photo may have been taken on 26 August
1946; it later appeared in All Hands magazine.
