[GreenKeys] Hmmm, why did they do it that way?

Sometimes the mind just takes off on a tangent.

On several 14 reperfs and tape printers I'd seen there's a nice switch 
back near the selector magnets which switches the connect between series 
and parallel.

I don't recall if I've ever seen that on a 15, but it might have existed?

So why when they did the 28 ASR/KSR did they bury a terminal strip in 
the bottom of the electrical service unit, LESU, so that you have to 
tear the machine apart and flip the LESU upside down to change between 
series and parallel?

On the 28/35 typing reperf and tape printer, you change it right at the 
selector magnets, no switch, but easy to get at.
