This brings back memories. Up till 1953 here in N.Z. we had a similar 
tape punching keyboard (Murray system). The keyboard had no anti-clash 
device which meant that if a letter key was not hit cleanly and firmly 
an incorrect signal could be punched on the tape. A good operator 
(perforator) had no trouble keeping the transmitter fed. Transmission 
speed was about 44 wpm.
