[GreenKeys] Teletype ribbon reverse

[Richard Knoppow]

     I am not very experienced with Teletype machines.  What 
sort of ribbon reverse mechanism do they use?   Some 
typewriters require the ribbon to have an eyelet at each end 
to operate the reversing lever and some rely on increased 
tension on the ribbon as it comes to the end.  The latter 
require the ribbon to be fixed firmly to the spools.  Since 
ribbons come both ways its important to know if you are 
shopping for replacements.
