[GreenKeys] Teletype Paper Size

Tue, 30 Mar 2004 16:23:21 -0500

Paper we used in FAA was 8 25/64" wide.  I still find this width available..
Just a scosh narrower that 8 1/2".  There is a small range of adjustment
there.  I once got ahold of some paper that was almost 8 3/4 wide, and had
to run rolls through my bandsaw to get them to fit...  and of course the
bandsaw cut was never exactly true so one edge was 'wobbly'.. (grin)

Gil, W1RG
