RD,

The units in the photo are Teletype Corp Model  14s.  There were two 
versions of the M14: 1) a typing reperforator,  that made a perforated 
tape and also typed on it and 2) a machine that  just typed the message 
on an narrow tape; aka a "tape printer" or "strip  printer."  The tape 
printer was widely used by Western Union and WU  referred to it as the 
"Model 2B".  WU used a gummed tape that could  be glued down to the WU 
message blanks.  WU initially preferred a  tape printer over a page 
printer because if part of a message was garbled  or lost, only that part 
had to be repeated and the new tape glued down  onto the message form.

The M14 tape printer was also used as a TTY  order wire where space &/or 
cost were a premium since it was smaller  than a M15.

Have fun,

this machine.  It looks similar to the  typing reperf we see in a post war 
photo of the KPH operating room that I  recall someone on this list 
identified as a 2B.  The machine is in the  foreground of the photo seen here (in a 
different colored  case):
