Don- I have  paper tape that  size!   I assumed  it  was  for the model 
31...  but when I started to look at all  of it   seemed a litle small.  thanks 
 for the   solve!

The M-209 was a palm sized hand operated  encoder/decoder.
the rolls of 3/8" paper are very small… about 4" across as  I recall. 
Designed to fit in a soldiers pocket.

The only use for a  Teletype was the tape printer associated with the 
KLB-47 crypto  assembly.
With a single roll in a M14 tape printer the whole roll would be  gone very 
quickly at 60  wpm.

73,
