[GreenKeys] Teletype motor slip ring maintenance

[Larry Tighe]

BE DARN CAREFUL TO REMOVE THE TWO LITTLE SCREWS that hold the clutch to the 
end bell....it isn't just taking the nuts off of the 2 long screws that run 
front to back.....the two little screws on the back hold the clutch 
assembly....pulling the back cover off without those two screws removed, 
destroys the clutch mechanism....I know ! ! ! ! !
