← Gretag Crypto Data Telex
For this reason, the TC-850 was compatible with most existing teletype
equipment on the market. As it is intended for off-line use,
it has a built-in
paper tape reader and a paper tape puncher, which could be used for loading
and saving bulk data. In addition, plaintext and cryptograms could be entered
on the built-in keyboard.
The image on the right shows a typical TC-850 ready for use.
It was taken from the original instruction manual, and shows the machine
without its protective metal dust cover [A].

Development of the TC-850 started in 1973 and lasted until approx. 1975,
after which full production was scheduled for 1977 [2].
It is currently unknown how many devices were made.

Note that the TC-850 is not compatible with the
