[GreenKeys] Flexowriter.

I came across an item on Etsy that I didn't buy.  It was a piece of printer's type about an inch square, an illustration for a Friden ad -- obviously about the Flexowriter.  I took the image (high resolution) and did some photoshopping (generic sense, I used Gimp) to produce the image the slug would have printed if inked and pressed into paper.  See attached.

This image is one that would be nice to scale smaller and print on stationary that you put in your Flexowriter for demos.  Since I and a student are now working on reconditioning a flexowriter, it makes sense to collect this and print some stationary.

By the way, I found the maintenance manual for the Flexowriter models 2200 and 2300.  (Murphy's law applies here:  It was in the bottom of a box of other papers in the back box on a deep shelf with other boxes piled above and in front of it.)
