[GreenKeys] Model 15 autospace disable?

[hwhall@aol.com]

Hi & thanks for the reply.  Yes, multiple spaces when you hold the space bar down.

I did look at that rod & wasn't sure that unscrewing the adjustments was the right way to do the job.  The repeating space isn't a serious problem but we demo a Model 15 & let folks try their hand at the keyboard.  Almost no one is able to get just one space.  So I thought it may be worthwhile to temporarily disable the feature.

Do you mean repeating space when you hold down the space bar? If so, I
think it's that threaded rod just above the P keycap. When the space bar
is held down, that threaded rod is pulled forward preventing the the cam
shaft from stopping when the character is completed. I imagine you could
loosen the front nut so the rod would not be pulled when the space bar is
pressed. Then the space bar SHOULD be like any other key and just be
transmitted once.

Is repeating space a problem?
