[GreenKeys] Re: sorting tape chad

[GARY WEBB]

We had several printers at a couple of my Navy duty stations in the late 60's
  that used dual layer paper rolls with a carbon sheet in the middle.  If you hold the inner
  layer and the carbon sheet down, flip the top sheet over once around the roll and 
  tear it off even with the carbon and the other sheet you end up with a roll with the carbon 
  sheet on top with two sheets of paper underneath.   Many new guys were told that sometimes the rolls came messed up. Their job was to unroll all the paper, put the 
  carbon sheet back in the middle, and roll it back up.  About the time they had a lot
  of paper up and down the passageway with carbon black all over themselves someone
  would innocently come by and show them the cure.  Which was to hold the bottom
  sheet of paper in place and flip the other sheet and the carbon around, tear them off
  even, and presto chango the carbon paper is back in the middle where it belongs.
   
     One time I was asked to get a set of falopian tubes for a radio, but when I said I would
  have to leave the site and go back to base to get them, they gave up trying to trick me.
