[CW] Copy speed (Was: Straight key vs paddle)

[Ron Zond]

Art and others.

just looking over old stuffin "Inbox", and wondered if you were aware that
there
is a font called "Telegraper's Mill"?. Do a search on Google, and if it
turns up hitless,
send me an email with subject "Telegrapher's Mill Font", and I can send you
a copy.
