[GreenKeys] Wheatstone Tape setup 1930

[Nick England]

Besides teletypes I am fascinated by paper tape Morse code systems -
Here's a cool photo from 1930 showing the whole setup - Navy Radio Station
at Los Banos, Philippines

Note the "tape buffer" trash cans.

Right-to-left in the photo
Transmitting - Tape is punched with a Wheatstone perforator and read with a
keying head which keys the transmitter

Receiving - tape is pulled through an ink recorder and then pulled past a
radioman who reads the Morse "slip" and types on a typewriter.
