[GreenKeys] TTY Test Text

[Doug Alderdice]

I think I answered my own query about the possible UK version of the Fox 
pangram.  With the ongoing discussion on this thread I went digging in my 
meagre library of TTY references and in the RGSB Teleprinter Handbook by 
Goacher and Denny (pg. 2.130) I see they have a suggested test slip that 
starts out THE VERY QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS RIGHT OVER THE LAZY OLD DOGS 
BACK.  I guess I assumed, rightly or wrongly, that was "the" way it was 
done "over there."
