[GreenKeys] Computer Control of an ASR Mod33 Teletype Punch

[Hugh Pyle]

There is no built-in "print suppression" switch or control code, but there
is a print suppression codebar in the mechanism, and by preventing it from
moving, you can effectively stop the typewheel from printing.  I hope
others will chime in with more details of how to do this.

Here's some python code to print letters on tape, with a hard-coded font
https://github.com/hughpyle/ASR33/blob/master/bin/tape
and an example of the result,

I think short strips of tape make nice bookmarks ;)
