Postal Telegraph and Telex

[edit]

I do not see that Postal operated any Telex networks in the USA. My information shows that Telex came to the USA in the 1950s. Can you please provide a reference or two? Wa3frp (talk) 03:39, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is correct. Postal telegraph was acquired by western Union in 1943. Telex was a b2b communication dial up service pioneered by WU. In 1973, AT&T’s TWX service was acquired by Western Union and merged with Telex. I worked on merging these services in Maryland Heights Mo. There was a an office there that was responsible for this acquisition, led by VP George Jockum. 172.221.25.158 (talk) 00:12, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
