[GreenKeys] Wheatstone Tape setup 1930

[Harold Hallikainen]

I saw a Morse tape reader in an antiques store years ago. It was part of a
code practice system. Should have bought it! Also, the FCC office in San
Francisco had one of these when I took my license exam in 1969.

It's interesting that they used separate areas of the tape for dot and
dash with the same sized hole for each. It seems like it would be a lot
simpler to use variable sized holes (a dot punch and a dash punch) on the
perforator side. The reader would then just pull the tape through at a
constant speed. It would use more tape, but the reader would be a lot
simpler.

Did anyone do something like this?
