Using a single lever paddle with a keyer that is iambic A, iambic B or 
non-iambic is exactly the same.

It makes automatic dots and dashes, and is self-completing (which means 
that once you start a dot or dash, the element and its following space 
will be created regardless of when you let go of the paddle).

The only time there is a difference is when you close both contacts 
together, which you can't do with one lever!
