Friden Flexiwriter, Tape Typewriter for the LGP-30
notes: label: Description
content: This tape typewriter, part of the LGP-30 computer, has a tape reader and punch attached as integral parts of the unit. It is controlled directly by the program stored in the computer but may be operated independently of the computer as a reading and punching device. The keyboard as well as the punched tape can be used to feed information into the computer. Information passing through the reader or punch will create a typewritten copy. The keyboard is standard, but has been modified to use the LGP-30 codes. The keys used for commands are a different color from the rest. The housing is steel, light brown with a wrinkle finish.
