[BC] AP 10 Bells Survery

[JYRussell@academicplanet.com]

It's been so long ago, I can't remember which our service was.  But it had 
bells... and the 'thunk thunk' part came about as the carriage had been back 
and forth so many times that all the bushings, etc. were worn out... hence 
the
'thunk thunk' noise - especially notable during short sentences...

    The 2x4's in the walls would carry the racket all over the building. 
sounded pretty bad in production rooms... with Hphones on, it sounded like 
you were working in a construction zone...
