[GreenKeys] LPR35 BRP code bars?

I see the springs on the punch pins jiggling, and they 
seem to switch back and forth for the R Y ... 

I also saw the type wheel turning back and forth, 
which suggests that characters ARE being set up. 

why on earth don't you just put some paper tape in 
the punch chute and SEE what the punches are doing? 

Also, don't forget that on most TTY machings you can 
turn off the motor and rotate it by hand while keying in 
mark and space in the loop, and see in slow motion how 
things are setting up.
