[GreenKeys] Gum for joining punched tape

[tony.podrasky]

GM OMs;

The way it worked, was you'd punch "LTRS" at the beginning
and end of the tape (all five holes would have "lids").

Then, you'd make a loop, put both ends on the device, one
on top of the other, and align the holes.

Then, when you'd press down the bar, the nails would come
up and force the lids from the lower piece of the tap into
the holes on the upper piece of the tape, and they'd be stuck
together.
