[Elecraft] New Mystery: Copying groups vs plain language text (Rather OT)

[wb6rse1 at mac.com]

FCC office in lower Manhattan. Finkleman's exam chairs were school desk writing arm chairs. The writing surface had grooves everywhere. They were the size of the Grand Canyon. You were given a very thin sheet of paper and a dull pencil to write your copy. I could barely get the pencil out of a groove to write the next letter. Felt deliberate.

Finkleman's keys in New York were like that, too. I remember trying to adjust mine. He must have used a pipe wrench to tighten them down.
