[GreenKeys] Western Union manuals for a 2-B aka 14

[dmm at lemur.com]

Ed asks:
if  this photo  of gumming  desk still available?!

Not sure if this will help (it seems to be an attachment vs. a
"special cabinet"), but...

Western Union was assigned a patent for a "Message Copyholder and
Gumming Desk for Printing Telegraph Machines", US patent 1,831,700,
issued 1931-11-10 to Rolla F. Blanchard, James F. Porter, and
George Marx.

The easiest way to get a copy of the USPTO images for this is to go to
http://www.pat2pdf.org/

and plug in

1831700

The resultant PDF is just a wrapper around the USPTO JPEG images
(I've checked by unpacking them and comparing).  By way of contrast,
the images via google patents are reprocessed, and the images at
the USPTO seem always difficult to get to in an open source environment.
