[GreenKeys] Historical TTY Prints

[Pete Lancashire]

I use to have at least 50 rolls of paper from I think the date was
1935. Even thought they were
all from the same lot, about 1 in 5 after you tossed the outer inch
were in usable condition. Now
if I had them find some old cotton ribbons .. but what to do about the ink ?

ON the flip side I still have some of my computer output off a 33 and
35 from late 60's / early 70's
even though they had been in an attic for 20+ years the paper is still
in good shape.

Some of those Star Trek game rolls are over 40 feet long :-)
