Siemens Streifenfernschreiber Stg 68 / Tape Teleprinter Stg 68

On wirebound networks, the tape teleprinter Siemens Stg 68 has been used as teleprinter for telegrams, on which the paper stripes from the teletypewriter were glued.
The equipment came in two heavy wooden crates (Crate A with the teletype machine and accessories, 44 kg and Crate B with the power supply, single tone telegraphy adaptor (Einton-Telegraphiegerät 60) and an adaptor for simultaneous transmissions (Simultangerät 60), 131 kg.

The Siemens & Halske Stg-68 is a tape teleprinter operated with baudot code signals (CCITT No.2. / Baudot Code 50 Baud). The teleprinter comes with a keybord, a punched tape transmitter and a perforator and has an automatic "Here is" key which emits the station identification.

The CCITT-encrypting device Telecrypto Model 61 can be used to transmit encrypted messages.
