[GreenKeys] BRPE punch blocks

[John, W9DDD]

I wondered about that adjustment.  Wouldn't you need to add one on the 
other side as well?  Going from 5 bit tape to 8 bit tape don't you add 
one hole on one side of the feed holes and 2 holes on the other? 
However having a example, one could drill and tap some more holes and 
fabricate another show.
