My  personal 'archive' of GreenKeys goes back only to Vol 101, Issue 37, 
which is  dated  
June 26, 2012.  I may have more on the other computer that failed  sometime 
back.


I just looked through around 300 'Issues' looking for mentions of  Paper 
Winders.  I
seem to remember some talk about someone looking into making the  display 
bails for the
Paper Winders to prop up the text for reading before the paper was  wound 
on the 'spool'
on the back of the machine.  I have two of the Winders, and  neither of 
them came with
the Display Bail.


Just wonder if someone did tackle that design/construction project?  I 
would be willing
to kick in a few 'research dollars' and pay for the two Bails I need  if 
someone has
access to the material (maybe 3/16" rod stock?) and the means to  fabricate 
them.  The
one intact winder I remember seeing had a 'Bail' that appeared to be  about 
16/18" above
the cabinet top and was set back far enough so that the small top lid  
could be opened
with no interference.  If the large cabinet opening was opened,  then the 
Bail had to be
removed.


If someone has one that they would be willing to photograph and  measure, 
it would be a
great start for such a project.  I don't have the means to  accurately bend 
steel rod
stock, or I might attempt to bend something up for this  purpose.


I welcome comments on or off list.


Thanks & 73,
