Yeah, as I recall, the old teletypes only had uppercase.
I don't know if it's true, but the story I heard years later was that they could only use upper or lower case, for whatever reason. The engineers wanted to use lower because it's easier to read. The president, (or somebody with the final say) said if there's a choice, it has to be upper; otherwise "GOD" could not be spelled with a capital G. Kind of sounds like a myth, but still a good story :) TheEnigma
