[GreenKeys] Non-felt friction clutches?

[Jim Haynes]

I went to a home supply/hardware store and found a roll of felt
weatherstripping, 3/16 x 1-1/2 and 17 feet long.  I'm sure it's not
the qualify of felt that Teletype would approve, but I cut a couple
of clutch felts from it and have them in service now.  It's cheap,
and I'll never use it all up for clutch felts.
