Hds-68
Hand punch Hds-68; developed by Siemens & Halske, Munich, manufactured by Siemens-Albis, Zurich.
The Hand punch Hds-68 from Siemens was used to record telegrams on punched tape in the command posts and writing offices. The set is largely identical to the Stg-68 tape teletypewriter, but the punched tape transmitter is not installed on the left side, as the set was not used for direct teletype dispatch.
