No idea about that terminal or Braegen, but I'd bet that was a Micro Switch keyboard. They were wonderful to work with and would cheerfully make anything you wanted, even if it was for a low-volume project. I'd love to have one of those today in PC style (actually, I'd prefer DEC LK463 style). This is one I did back in the late 70's - it is Serial #00000 and I kept it as a trophy. It is a true Selectric-layout keyboard, complete with a mechanical shift-lock key that releases with a press of either shift key. Each key has TWO reed relays inside for redundancy, and keypresses move the magnet up and down. https://www.glaver.org/transient/IMG_1952-s.jpg
