[GreenKeys] Carriage return questions

Can someone refresh my memory about how the carriage in older TTYs and
the type box in newer machines was moved to the start of a new line upon
receipt of a CR character?
Was it a powered movement, or did a spring haul it back? Seems like it
would have to be pretty quick -- perhaps only 0.28 seconds -- to get it
moved before the next character after the CR LF sequence.
Just curious; it's been a long time since I saw one in action.
Thanks.
