[GreenKeys] 33 in VA

I see an 8-bit 1" tape and the reader with Manual-Start/Auto/Manual-Stop/Free.

The four-row keyboard means it is a 33 (7-bit ascii 110-baud) with 8-bit 1" paper tape  (I see eight holes).  This machine defined ascii did it not?  The three-row keyboard would be a model 32 (5-bit baudot) with the narrow (11/16 iirc) tape.

Apologies for the voice. Dictation error in my previous. “4 row” … became ‘borrow’…
I agree the paper tape is questionable. You can’t tell what the punch reader itself is could be the wrong paper it could be a hybrid machine that’s been upgraded transformed who the heck knows.

That said the paper tape looks 5 bit to me. It may be someone put the wrong tape in it.
