On further checking, I compared the type basket of this 14 to the basket on 
a rather pristine 2B tape printer I have in a repairman's carrying case and 
there is almost nothing common between them.  The 2B appears to be the same 
layout as a 15, the mystery 14 printer has its own arrangement, including 
numerals in the LTRS position.

Looks like this set won't be a lot of use unless it goes through a lot of 
overhaul or gets attached to whatever system it was intended for.

Still interested in knowing just what it may have been used with.  An 
off-list reply to my earlier note suggests that it could, indeed, have been 
a CO crossbar switch as they had their own code to talk to attached 
teleprinters.
