[GreenKeys] M28 Typebox Parts Illustrations

[w9ddd at tapr.org]

Speaking of these springs, if you had some loose in a box, how would you know if they were old or new design?  I would guess the newer design is shorter, but if you don't have some of each, you still don't know.

And now I understand the statement they made when they handed me a unmodified typebox and said “we’re saving this for the next smart-ass that come through here!”

I removed the # type pallet from a typebox that had the fractional character type pallets that I knew I would never use.
