[Elecraft] Paper Tape CW sender

[Edward R Cole]

Guessing a lot of us first licensed in 1950's learned code from one 
of these.  Instruct-O-Graph sounds familiar.  My ham license 
instructor (elmer) used one in night-time class a nearby HS (Caro, 
MI).  He was music teacher for his day job.  Must have trusted me as 
he let me take it home after class ended.  I got to where I had 
memorized the tape after playing it, so resorted to copying code with 
my 3-tube regen receiver on 40m.  He administered my Novice exam 
resulting in KN8MWA in Nov. 1958.

First ham station: Knight Ocean Hopper and DX35 to twinlead 40m FD:

I visited the Manitoba museum in 1999 after attending Microwave 
Update in Winnipeg.
