[GreenKeys] Teletype ribbon reverse

[Raymond Cote]

All that I've seen has eyelets to reverse dir. Mine all have eyelets. 
Others will chime in as I have seen one that uses tension on a spring bar against the ribbon.

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.
