[GreenKeys] Model 15 question

[Ralph Irish]

Nick

By 'tracks', are you referring to the 'Sprocket Paper Feed system?'  

I have a box of sprocket feed paper I've been trying to give away here on GreenKeys.  The rows
of sprockets are about 7 1/2 inches apart.  The paper is 'fan fold' and I have a good sized box
of it, just waiting for a new home.  It could ride in two USPS Flat Rate boxes, that would cost
about 10 bucks each for postage.  All I want is to come out even.  I can send you a few sheets
for 'fit' if you are interested. Send me an address.

BTW, Sprocket Feed has been around for a long time.  Not a matter of time to determine date of
manufacture.  That would be done with various serial numbers.

Some multi-copy forms came in Sprocket Feed to assure good 'registration' on the page.  Friction
feed would eventually get 'off line' and cause problems.  The people who made the forms would be
certain to take into account the feed system when they laid out the boxes for information.

The paper I have was originally two copy with carbon!  A terrible mess to separate.  I used this
paper on my Packet Radio system when I needed to print anything.  It was just a buck a box, and
each box held I don't know how many sheets.  I got dirty as hell in the process of separating
it into two piles of paper!

73,
