[GreenKeys] M32 reader(s) - Chadless tapes...

[Kenneth Gartland]

Hi all...

32 reader(s) do not particuarly work well or at all w/chadless tapes...

The plastic tape gate w/pivoting lid does have a "Hollowed" out area on the
underside which permits the reading pins to extend up into the gate during tape
reading...

However, depending on the sensing pin upstop bracket adjustment, on some
machines, if the pin upward stop is set too high, the chadless "Lids" will
snag inside the tape gate as the tape is being read...

A lower setting, will result in the lids not being pushed thru far
enuf to read properly...

The spring tesnsion is relatively low on the sensing pins, as they are
designed to pass thru a clean fully perforated opening...

A person mite get lucky trying it at 50bd, but at a higher speed,
almost guaranteed
a "Fail"...

In closing, the 32 TD feed wheel also likes a clean punch for it to
feed reliably...

Just my .02 cents worth! (.05 cents Canadian) - exchange factored in!

Cheers!
