[GreenKeys] Gum for joining punched tape

[Nick England]

I've put photos of three types of Teletype Corp. splicers at
http://www.navy-radio.com/rtty-misc.htm#splice
One is chadless as Jim describes. The second uses pre-punched and gummed
tape splices. The third is the heat splicer Jim talks about (Model 28
splicer LTS)
Cheers,
