One thought:
Could it be something that was used with the perforator used on the five
cross bar for detailed billing.  It had a paper tape that was about two
inches wide.

Jim,

Does the parts book have a date? I know a guy in at&t archives that
might be able to help.

At first though I was thinking that the tape would be wide enough for a
post printing function like winding it up and then running it through a
manual braille embosser.

Just an idea.  I will copy some of my Bell folks to see if they recall
such a strip printer.

There is a parts book for the Model 14 tape strip printer in Bell System
service.  It shows parts for 2" wide tape, with character spacings of 7
per inch and 8 per inch.  Anybody know what those were used for?
