[GreenKeys] Bell vs apostrophe - Baudot/ITA2 on Model 14 machines

[Duncan Brown]

At the AWA Museum, we have a TG-7 (WWII military version of the M19) 
that has the apostrophe as upper case "J" (on the keyboard). But when it 
receives an upper case "J", it types a comma!  The "J" types normally, 
so it is not because the piece of type is misaligned. The piece of type 
looks like it was made to print either a "J" or a ",".  Upper case "N" 
also prints a comma.

Anyone ever see that on other machines??
