[GreenKeys] oddity on the bay

[Chuck]

I have one of them on the shelf! Used it years ago to try and bring my code speed up!

I just picked up complete set of the Tapes for it in Contental Morse, ie Telegraph, and want to play it back and see what it sounds like.

They came in both AC and wind up motors for them, mine is AC :-(  wish I could find a windup version for the Telegraph tapes.

Set it up and see if one of your Buddies can copy the code, BUT put on the Telegraph tape instead......  :-)

  Instructograph code practice machine. 
  Very common back in Ye Olden Days. The machines and tapes turn up on eBay regularly I think.

    I saw one of these in an antiques store years ago. Wish I had bought it
    then (but I DO have too much in the garage). I suspect that it operates
    like half track magnetic tape. It plays the top track, then you turn the
    tape over and play it the other way to play the bottom track.
