By the way... the "airplane view" photo of the Grand Boulevard plant in this article is the same photo that once hung on the wall to your right as you entered the main lobby. It is one of the few that shows the entire Packard plant as it once existed with foundries north of Harper Avenue (where the Ford Freeway is today.
And yes, very, very familiar with teletype since that was one of my trained functions in the U.S. Army. Only in my case, it was not merely teletype over a hard line, but rather it was radio teletype. The encoded kind where you sat in a hot, windowless truck and hoped no mortar or viet cong came knocking! (they liked to subject commo guys to unpleasant experiences like poisoned bamboo slivers shoved under your fingernails... that kinda stuff).
