[TenTec] OT

[Jim Allen]

Googling shows such a volume, by Theo. A., and Amazon has the books listed, published in either 1902 or 1918, a bit early for Theodore M., Thomas's son.

I figured it was a misprint, that they were talking about old Tom, who was a telegrapher himself and invented some improvements.

Now it's a mystery.

By 1908, however, a later edition of the Dodge Manual gives us today's definition of  "best regards" with a backward look at the older meaning in another part of the work  where it also lists it as "compliments."
