[GreenKeys] Auto carriage return and line feed.

[Don Robert House]

I have a couple of universal function bars but they are for model 
28s, 33s and model 35s.  You break out the tines as needed.  We used 
lots of these at Illinois Bell.  Especially helpful if the springs 
break in the function clutch!  Teletype made these under contract to 
the Bell System.  They are shown in the later Bell System Practices. 
I am not familiar with M15 function bars.  Most of our M15s and 19s 
were taken out of service before the end of 1968. Only a few of our 
repairmen had practices for the 15s and 19s.
