[CW] Whew! Shinny new bug....

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

That's the point Ron, the Marconi, Japanese, and Scandinavian type keys are
made to be used with the key's front edge at the edge of the desk with the
knob directly overhead.  The arms never make Commack with the table, the
non sending arm just hangs loosely at the sender'sender's side, the sending
arm is bent at the elbow and the artist is very loose the fingers hold the
knob.

The key is activated by arm movements which pivot at three wrist.

Use of the long arm muscles ONLY with no muscles in the wrist being used
and only sufficient muscles in the fingers being used to hold the knob,
completely prevents telegrapher's paralysis or carpal tunnel syndrome as it
is called now.
