[GreenKeys] western union 3b looks like a model 14 maybe it really is? IN...

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

ok JIM!   early  gumming  desk   tag on   doc holder Ha!   it  says  3A     
my  error  on the  3B

 
OK   Jim  I  like the    celluloid   keys because they look older and 
cooler!
and...... BECAUSE MY FIRST  TTY 14  HAD  THEM!
 
anyway  there are 2  tape printers and one typing reperf/// 
 
sad  story...   previous owner had  boxes of   tape...  LOTS  AND LOTS of  
boxes.... and  they  burned  them... then  found the machines in the attic  
later.
 
 
 between   stuff like this  for the  displays (  one tape smecc  one tape 
in college  tolls of  journalist   display  and the   typing reperf I will 
pay with at the  house   for a while and  relive my  first  tty   fun then  
down to the museum it  goes!)
 
 
for   the  media preservation  end of   things   we were kindly given some 
XV  series multi xenon  processor kick ass workstations .....   I  keep    
dreaming of  the  new z series 20 core machine   but  at  11 grand  ain't  
gonna  happen.  these  were a  kind  gift and... VEGAS  video editor  will do 
multi  machine  network rendering...  so a stack of these and each   one  
with mutli xeons  with multi cores in each   processor....  WHEEEE    it  will 
make  rendering  a  complex  edit of  something 2 hrs  long with too many  
timelines in it...  go PRETTY GOOD ( fingers crossed )
 
Anyone familiar  with   matrox  SDI  cards?

Without  a picture I can't even guess much, but
2B is the Western Union version of  the Model 14.  so far as I know all had
celluloid keytops.  And  the other difference from the standard Model 14 is
that the 2B uses 5/16"  tape rather than 3/8"  I've heard some W.U. 
employee won a big  suggestion award for suggesting that they narrow the
tape by  1/16".

Where space permitted, the 2B sat toward the right end of a  table and
then to it's left was a "gumming desk" which had a clamp to hold  message
blanks, a clip to hold a message number checkoff sheet, and a  curved
part at the back to hold the tape moistener tool.  There was  also a little
box with a felt in it and kept full of water in case extra  moistening
was needed.

Where space did not permit the above, the  cover of the printer was adapted
to serve for gumming the tape.  Maybe  that is a 3B - I  dunno.
