<I have a query about the operation of a KSR 33 TTY when reading paper
<tape : does the TTY blindly send the characters read from the tape at 10
<cps or is the tape advance and read triggered by a signal from whatever
<th TTY is connected to.

This is limted to ASR33s as they have the reader punch, KSR33 is keyboard
and printer only.

The answer is yes! Some systems have provision for tty reader control
and enables single character read. Others just take it at 10 cps as they
have all the time in the world between characters, it's not fast.
