[TenTec] Number of motions for CW

[Michael O. Hyder]

I believe you may be miscounting.  Using a single lever key, the only stroke
required to release a lever is at the character's end.  With a dual lever
key, you must count those motions required to release each lever each time.

You may not think of a release as a motion, but your fingers and brain
surely do.

Count again.

| A recent post said that a single lever paddle took less motions
| than iambic. Not quite. A quick count of key strokes per character
| generated comes out kind of like this.
|
| Straight key - 132
| Bug - 87
| Single lever - 69
| Iambic - 63
| Keyboard 1 stroke per character.
|
| Kind of interesting when you look at it in this light.
|
| To keep this Ten Tec related, I love CW on my Omni VI+..
