[GreenKeys] Mystery Teletype...

[John, W9DDD]

Pictures in this M38 catalog supplement are obviously the wide carriage 
versions and those are artist's renditions anyhow (compare to full 
catalog).  Note the comment about there not being a local LF button on 
the RO version.  So the RO picture is wrong with all its buttons.

I'm suggesting a M38RO.

Someone mentioned a 37.  I believe that was an extension of the 28/35 
lines and used a typebox rather than a drum.
