: [GreenKeys] tape printer survey

[Eugene Hertz]

lets not forget the ticker tape models 401B (I believe, I can never remember the number), also known as the western union model 5A or "black box" . Can be seen here: <http://www.hertzmail.com/5a/>  I have two of them, one works thank to WA2HWJ.

Also there was the high speed ticker, I believe it was model 900. Can be seen here: <http://www.stocktickercompany.com/historypics/28.jpg>

These, by the way, all used 3/4" tape
