[GreenKeys] Model 15 question

[Nick]

Yes Ralph, you are right. That's what I mean,  "Sprocket Paper Feed" !!!

The sprockets are 8 inches apart from center to center of the sprocket wheels. Therefore, your paper will not fit. I checked and the sprockets can't be moved closer in.

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!

Hey gang

I have another 15KSR on the bench, taking a bath right now in Simple Green.

Question:

On each side of the paper drum are tracks attached. Guessing it's a newer model, right? See picture!

1. Wondering what year (about) that technology hit the market ???

2. The tracks are 8 inches apart. Is paper for 8" still avaliable in modern office supply stores  ???   I can do the research, but if you know the answer on top of your head, ....
