[GreenKeys] M15 paper path

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

I had a Model 15 once that didn't have a sharp edge on the glass. There was a metal strip that ran along the upper edge of the glass that had a wedge shaped cross section to act a the paper cutter.

Looks like the main problem may have been the glass was installed upside 
down. It does have a sharp edge, but it was installed with the sharp 
edge was down rather than up. With it flipped, pulling back toward the 
user at least makes it possible to tear off.
