[GreenKeys] Type of Underwood Ribbon For Teletype Machines

[Jordan Spencer Cunningham]

I second Richard's Underwood comment-- I've never heard of an "Underwood
spool" being anything other than a standard 2-inch spool with half-inch
ribbon. I would be extremely surprised if any of the eBay listings for
Underwood ribbons didn't fit. If they specify that the spool has a 2-inch
diameter and half-inch ribbon, then you're even more set.

For what it's worth, this is the one I most recently purchased on eBay that
fits my 15/19 and most of the typewriters I have and thus should fit a 28;
they do specify that these spools are 2-inch with half-inch ribbons:
