[GreenKeys] Here Is mechanism

I recall some ads in one (or more) of the ham magazines from some Surplus outlet, selling
Lorenz Model 15 EQUIVALENT keyboards that had an ANSWERBACK SYSTEM on them.  I have a
vague memory of maybe a photo, but not certain.  

Long since forgotten the price, but since I didn't have a model 15 at that time, there
was no reason to have more than passing interest in it.

I will guess that if one could do without the tape punch, etc, that a model 19 keyboard
could be removed and one from a 15 or 15/LORENZ slipped in its place.  Don't quote me on
that, though.

I also suppose that some enterprising mechanic/engineer might have been able to take the
device off of the LORENZ keyboard and mount/adapt it to a 19 Keyboard.  

These recent mentions of LORENZ, etc, are the first I've ever heard of an ANSWERBACK on
a Model 19.  It would be interesting to see some photos of one, with the keyboard assembly
removed from the rest of the printer.

73,
