[GreenKeys] Model 14 tape printer and reperf typebars not compatible

   I tried to convert a Model 14 tape printer with FRACTIONS
font to USTTY, using a set of typebars from a junked Model
14 reperforator.  It almost works, but not quite.

The typebars replaced were V, F, C, N, L, M, B, K, the
FRACTIONS set per Bulletin 1048, page 11.  Here's
the result:

As you can see, the reperf typebars have the letters
about half a character height higher than the tape printer
typebars.  So they're not really interchangeable.

Anyone have a set of 14 tape printer typebars they don't want?
