[GreenKeys] Perforator Tape Curiousities

How to make a moebius strip out of Teletype(setter) tape.
I'm sure that this trick must have made the rounds of the TTY
community at about the same time.

This is an article that appeared in "Shop Talk" in the 1960s,
a publication of Star Parts, Inc.  (Star Parts was the largest
third-party maker of compatible parts for Linotype and Intertype
linecasting machines.  They later developed their own TTS-compatible
hardware and did quite bit of work on their own tape automation
systems for linecasting.)

Grab a copy of this PDF if you want it.  I'll be putting a bunch of the
Star "Shop Talks" online at some point, but for now this PDF is just
in temp space.
Or a different scan, at lower resolution but more reasonable file size,
is already on line on Bill Spurling's "linotype.org" site:

You want Shop Talk Vol. 9, No. 2.
