[GreenKeys] 6 Bit? Linotype TTS?

[Simon Claessen]

we have one of those T106's @ hack42. the tape is 7/8" wide and contains 
as stated 6 data-holes and one transportation. the shift mechanism is 
very special as there are 4 caracters on each typearm. the basket AND 
the platen are moving up and down to get type on the paper.

the one we have is a Model B with a big squarisch blue case.

but of course nothing is known about one or more standards of the code used.

we had it hooked up to irc to have a paper backup of our conversations 
at the space. now its task is to print ascii-art.

but of course you could use also a flexowriter with the same specs. I 
know a typewriter collector who has one in storage in Rotterdam, The 
Netherlands
