[GreenKeys] teletype motor with the 'night light' on it!

[Henning Treumann]

German tuning forks for 50 baud are generally 125 Hz, no matter
what machine or motor.
>From own experience it even works with a battery powered flashlight.

Later Lorenz Lo15 models (versions b and c) also had to lamp installed near
the
governor to give more convenience when measuring the speed.
In Germany 99% of all machines are equipped with a governed motor.
