[GreenKeys] Dry ribbons

[Richard Knoppow]

    You can also buy bulk ribbon from the same dealers who sell 
spooled ribbons. I don't know the details of price but am under 
the impression they are cheap. Spools can be hard to find.
     I don't know if Teletype machines used eyelets in the ends 
of the ribbons for automatic reversing, many typewriters do. I 
would inquire of the ribbon dealer if he/she has eyelets. 
Sometimes a knot tied in the ends of the ribbon work as well.
