[GreenKeys] Pristine M28 ASR Rescue

Tue Jun 29 17:33:44 EDT 2021

With the reperforator having a complete independent drive system, line 
and control module, I can imagine it being ready to receive incoming 
messages when the main system was shut off. A basket in front of the 
machine at closing time could be full of tape to be processed the next 
morning. If the speed gearing was different from the rest of the 
machine, it could also serve as a means of speed translation.
