[Elecraft] Paddle Key set-up

[zl1mh]

Bugs did, indeed work with the dots being made with one's 
thumb......but, they did, indeed, also work the 'other way around'- at a 
small price!!
I have here an ARRL Handbook in which the
Vibroplex ad states...."Every Vibroplex key has 3/16 contacts and is 
available for left-hand operation. $2.50 extra".
I read somewhere that the original bug was designed with using the thumb 
for dots & forefinger for dashes because the forefinger has more 
mobility than the thumb.
I'm a lefthander, but, when I was a marine R/O & decided to buy my first 
bug back in 1956, when my ship was in Capetown, the store had only 
right-handed models, I bought one (an ex-US Army signal corps. model 
510) & have used it left-handed ever since.
