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,
