[GreenKeys] ANFGQ-3?

[skip at osbornville.com]

When I was learning Morse code for my ham radio exam back in 1956 my friend used a code machine that used paper tape.  It looked like a military unit that was in an open frame and had 2 levers at the read head that were an inch or so long and he had to occasionally poke them or make adjustments to them to keep it running.  I have never seen anything close to this machine until this discussion.  Pictures of the Wheatstone units don’t seem to have this double lever reader head.  I wonder if anyone out there knows anything about it.  Just curious.

Thanks
