Hmm actually I'm not sure. The 1911 Morkrum BACK might be CR, not BS https://archive.org/stream/enf-ascii-1908-1912/Image070917123734#page/n68/mode/1up … Wish I had copied the whole document!

If Morkrum always had split CR-LF, it was probably always for padding time. Needed for start-stop operation but not for printing from tape
