[GreenKeys] the WWII "artifact" subject...

Hasn't anyone else yet figured out that the thing couldn't be printed by an 
M14 perforator-transmitter?  How many M14's have any of you ever seen with 
carriage return and multi-line capability?  And how many M14's print on anything 
other than 3/8" gummed tape without feed sprocket holes?  And damned few of 
those, mostly only used by Western Union, not the War or State Departments.

It was probably printed by an M15 or maybe M28 or later page printer, 
depending upon actual vintage.  Or it could have been done by an ink-jet with vintage 
paper.  Or I could easdily enough do it with my Xerox DC-430 and sheets cut 
out of canary roll.  Forensic examination of the actual printed characters 
would reveal the answer.
