Well, that explains one of my mystery keys on my keychain... I used to work 
with HP 1000 systems. 
I still have one of the HP 264x 'keys' which opened up the terminal.

Confession time. I copied the cuts by hand, and did it backwards 
because of the similarty of the key designation. Sigh. 

The correct cuts for the 4T1427 are 7241 read bow to tip. 

I _think_ Christian's last two systems (several photos each) both have 
variants of the 4T1427. 

Here's a catalog entry at CHM for another pair of 4T1427 keys:
