[GreenKeys] Stunt box operation

[w9ddd at tapr.org]

This will be good info for me because I eventually have to get a sprocket feed typer  going.  It's  been on the back burner due to lack of paper

The TTY does not function (in the time domain) like the selector magnets received 14 space chars.  So far it's always been 14 characters, but I haven't done a lot of testing with that to confirm.  I'll try that later today.  I do know that the right side cable wheel on the front of the typing unit has some flanges that stick out on the front of it about 1/4 inch, like it might be for tab stops, but I don't see an actuator that would engage or stop based on the position of those flanges.  I should probably open the housing cover and watch it as I send it some ampersand characters, to see if I can understand the operation of the tabbing function.
