[GreenKeys] 7.42 vs. 7.0 machines/

[W9DDD]

So it appears that out of the 3 machines Dan and I are working on, two 
are set up for 7.42 and the other 7.0.  It seems that there shouldn't be 
a problem communicating when manually typing, but are there issues with 
tapr transmission (not that we have any tape gear yet).  What brought 
about the 7.0 in the first place, military wanted to squeeze out a few 
more WPM on their circuits or what?

The biggest problem I see is that we can't swap printers willy nilly 
since the keyboard drive gear is different.  (well the RO base doesn't 
care)  The 7.0 pair are an LK25BRW and LP77YD/AGM.  Does that sound 
military?  I frankly hadn't looked at the other two enough to be sure 
what there are.  Took the sprocket feed printer off the RO base and put 
the LP14 from the KSR on the RO base and it played.  That doesn't prove 
anything since the RO base is a don't care, and we haven't gotten around 
to doing much other than replacing rotten line cords and restoring 
original wiring in the RO LESU.  No testing with a keyboard yet.  Eric's 
USB to loop jewel proved the RO is ready once we do the clean and lub 
process.
