[GreenKeys] Dumb Question Retracted was Model 15 Speed Limit (Kevin De ...

Kevin,

I'm not actually sure that Teletype ever made 100 wpm gears for the Model 
15 but if they did and if you had a set, I wouldn't even consider installing 
them.  I once had a Model 14 typing reperf with 100 speed gears.  It would 
run for a while and then one type lever would be a little slow returning to 
battery and you'd quickly get a pileup.  The 15 does OK at 75 wpm.  But I 
doubt that anyone is still using that speed.

I don't have the link.
