[GreenKeys] Range setting on Model 28 and Model 35 Machines

[Eugene Hertz]

About a week or two back, I had reported that my range finder setting was 90 in order to get good print from both the printer and good punching on the LPR. I wanted to tell everyone, that I was using the wrong "point of reference" for that number. I assumed it was looking straight down on the number. I later discovered that there is a little pointer while facing the knob from an operating position.

SO. Good news is using that pointer, the numer is about 65. Yes, I breathed a sigh of releif as well.  So things may not be so bad after all.

Having said all that, I will look to bypass the internal loop supply one of these days as several have suggested.

thanks for the help and guidance!
Eugene
