Not sure I understand. You're looking for what fraction of ttys were Morkrum vs ASCII-63 vs ASCII-67, & alpha vs numeric punches?

I was thinking… 1932 ITA-2 1960 work on ASCII starts 1964 IBM 029 keypunch released, EBCDIC

Basically in the process of trying to untangle how teletypes and punches encoded things, and whether/when there was overlap.

I apparently started writing a chronology in 2003 https://gist.github.com/ericfischer/f8fd06d884ac0467d0f310ec25d0f640 … but it's not very complete
