[GreenKeys] TT-98 Line Feed on Carriage Return

[Steve Garrison]

Seems like I remember that adjusting the 'extension' on the top of the carriage all the way to the left accomplished the same thing.  And moving it to the right allowed some variation in the character count in the line where it would activate.

But it's been years (like 50!) since I've messed with that adjustment.

However, looking closely at the mechanism, I found that is possible to disable LF-on-CR.  See TM 11-5815-200-35, Feb 1966, Fig 1-42.  Just loosen the 3/16" nut on top of the LF-on-CR pawl and rotate the pawl away (to the front) from the draw bar.
