[GreenKeys] Yes, Virginia, there is a Model 15 Auto CR-LF

[Don Robert House]

>You don't see it very often, probably most often on ex-military machines.
>I have one here, and some but not all of the parts for the kit.  It

>little part attached to the type basket.  When that part slides to the

>a special CR function bar that trips both CR and LF, so if you get a CR

>I presume this is something the military wanted for radio use, since in

Pretty nifty Jim,
Thanks,
Don
