[CW] Ambidextrous Manipulation

[Raymond Lee]

Hi Bill

The cerebral hemispheres works independently as I could operate combination
of different key types, for instance, twin lever / single lever paddles,
bugs / paddles (iambic or non iambic), ambidextrously (sides
interchangeable) and simultaneously.  That means, the brain keeps the
profile of different fists for actuating the knobs and paddles.  When a
Vibrokeyer and a Vibroplex bug are in use concurrently, I have to replace
the orignal combination of paddle / knob of the Vibrokeyer to a pure paddle
formation such that whenever my left or right hand touch the pure paddle
shape, non iambic hand rocking comes into effect for the Vibrokeyer and a
bug fist for the knob / paddle shape of the semiautomatic (yes, single
lever and a bug works at the same time and will not mix up the different
fists), how amazing the conditional reflex....
