The only thing I have to add is that Ted McElroy had a company that
dealt in high speed Morse equipment.  He advertised in the catalog section
of the ARRL Handbook in the 1940s-50s, so if you have access to some of
those old handbooks you can see the product line he was selling.  A ham
swap meet would be a good place to find old ARRL handbooks.

I recall there was a Morse reperforator, which I believe was necessary
to operate the Morse printer (made by Creed)  To print Morse with a
mechanical printer  it was necessary for the printer to pull in enough
tape to recognize a Morse character and no more.
