Synopsis

The Teletype was one of the tools necessary to succeed successfully in Meteorology during my career. It is now considered antiquated or obsolete. The technique for preparing and forecasting the weather has advanced due to the invention of the computer. It saves time in forecasting the weather. Meteorologically speaking, without a brain the computer cannot replace the Meteorologist. I'm hoping this manuscript will benefit in assisting young people interested in the Career of Meteorology. .

About the Author

The Western Union Telegraph Company was my first place of employment after graduation from Greenport High School, in Greenport, Long Island, N.Y. I was one of the first people of color employed as a Teletype and Telegraphic Operator at their main office in New York City. I passed the Pennsylvania State University Entrance Examination which was a requirement for employment, and I knew how to type. At the Western Union School of Teletype and Telegraphic Technology; I learned to type on the teletype machine and also learned the knowledge of coding and sending messages to be transmitted for distribution by teletype. The messages sent by teletype to be transmitted for distribution consisted of printed tapes. The training included routing messages received over telegraph to be transmitted for distribution by teletype. I learned to code, send and receive messages of perforated tapes received from the Mux machine to be transmitted for distribution. I also learned to receive, read and send messages in Morse code. During my employment with Western Union I got married and moved to California where my husband was stationed in the military service. I took a leave of absence to continue my employment with Western Union and remained in California until my husband was ready to be shipped overseas, and I returned to New York. When my husband returned home after honorably serving the United States Navy-Coast Guard; he was entitled to wear the following ribbons: American Area, Asiatic-Pacific Area, Philliphine Liberation Campaign Ribbon, World War II Victory Ribbon, American Defense and Amphibious Force Insignia and 2 Bronze Stars.
