[SML] Teletype Machine

[B. H. Ackler]

If you find one with a paper tape reader/punch then all you would need to do 
is trigger the paper tape playback to make the teletype run/print on-cue. You 
can make the paper tape loop as short or long as you need it.

If the machine you find can punch tape then you actually punch out the actual 
message you want and print it new each night.... or play really bad jokes on 
the actors printing out other interesting things....

And thanks for reopening the "all the worst gags ever with teletype" memory 
file, haven't thought about this for a while.

PS:  don't forget to look at the future prop rental possibilites if you get
      a working one.
