Definitions

1. the hat of the telex operator is to ensure the standardness of the telex comm cycle. He nudges telexes which have not been answered within 24 hours. He ensures that the origination is clear, concise and clean. In addition, in the case of a reply, he also ensures that it does answer the question asked. Telexes are returned to the originator or replier for rewriting if in violation of the points above. The telex lines are for high velocity, important comm. The telex operator as a communicator ensures the integrity of his line by doing the above. (BPL 12 Jun 73R II)

2. telex operator does not mean "message center." A telex operator receives the classified messages in a prepared folder (like OODs) and goes off early, cuts the tape, transmits it quickly, receives the traffic back and cuts the machine off quickly (the longer it runs the more it costs). (FO 1693)
