[GreenKeys] Lorenz HL36 Tape Perforator

[David March]

Greenkeyers,

Back in June/July this year I sought your help in the restoration of the 
Lorenz HL36 Tape Perforator (akin to the GPE 'Iron Horse') at the 
National Museum of Computing, Bletchley Park, UK.

I am pleased to report that this unit has now been restored to 
operational status and placed in the museum as a static display 
alongside the other teletype equipment and next door to the Colossus 
computer room.

I attach some photos showing the very pleasing result.

I very much appreciate the support I got from many of you. Thanks - It 
made me believe it was possible to get this unit working . . . and now I 
have a result!

During my research into the history of these machines I came across a 
short video clip on the web showing German soldiers operating similar 
comms equipment in some woods - possibly a training film. Regretfully I 
did not make a note of the web-site. Does this ring any bells with any-one?

Best wishes
David March
