Default Code Readers info a typewriter is called a mill when copying cw

As I recall a Mill is a all caps typewriter used to copy messages and
radiograms by the Military.
On our Navy transport planes, we had such a device at the Radio Operators
position.

But Mill has historical reference -- see Henry Mill - URL:
