[GreenKeys] Teletype DRPE tuned reed mechanism

[tony.podrasky]

GM OMs;

Back in the '70's I worked at a place that was making stuff for
the USAF. We made 3 "huts":

o Diesel powered electric generator.
o Radio station.
o Communications.

The COM had a DRPE and BRPE.

You *wouldn't BELIEVE* the racket that those things made!

And, boy - could they slew tape!
