[GreenKeys] Quiz

[Teletypeparts at aol.com]

I always liked the clunk/clunk of a 15 when it shifted from letters to  
figures and back.  Havent worked on one in many years though except one I  had 
here for a brief time before passing along to weathersurf in GA.   Couldn't 
resist trying it out on the bench.  
 
Merry Christmas to all and keep em hammering, clunking and  clicking.

Ahhhhh, I can still smell the oil of my Model 19, seeing the  power

once they'd warmed up and loop current was flowing, and the  wonderful  
shaking of the house as print began!  Memories,  memories....don't get  
that on my computer screen  nowadays!

Happy Holidays to all....
