The keyboard is standard. The program written for printing the time slips and
the
radio transmitters to the remote printers are from Comp-Comm that we get all of
our
radios from for the meets. Did the Rice bros. ever contact you about the timing
equipment? All of the inputs are off the standard keyboard and we have a system
for
each course that is a lease plan each meet on the salt. They maintain and setup
/ tear
down as well as standby during the meet to take care of any problems that may
arise.
The photo cells, wire, batterys etc belong to SCTA.
