[GreenKeys] M28 printer FIGS-LTRS weirdness

[John, W9DDD]

You always have the best puzzles. (BTW sorry I buried the simple answer 
to last question down towards the bottom following a bunch of 
superfluous information)

What do we know. The last UC character should have been followed by a 
space.

The # appears to be an inserted character somehow, but how at machine speed?

It suggests a back space function?

Might be fun to run a reperf in parallel.  I'm not sure how the ASCII to 
5 bit conversions are done.  You wouldn't think anything funny would be 
involved in that.
