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

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Thanks David!   I had  found part of this but it  is nice to have the whole 
thing  there are some similarities to my gumming  desk and some differences 
..  have  saved it off!
 
What is neat is   from a prior adventure in getting stuff  we  got one of 
the   water holder wetter things!
This   display  continues to come together.
 
We also needed  one  unit to go in our  deaf telecom history  as there were 
some deaf that used tape printers before finally latching onto a  page 
printer
 
...And out of this batch  I am totally delighted to  get  the   keyboard 
typing reperf  as that was my first ever  tty  that i hooked up to a shortwave 
set... it was fun but  since i wanted to be  able to print the posters just 
had to get a page printer. I kept the keyboard  typing reperf  for ages 
store in the back  warehouse of Computer  Exchange INC  but suspect someone 
lifted it.  as  after a while I  never  saw it again...
 
I am trying to remember if the   referf  took wader   tape to have good  
printing area.....
I need to get it out and look at it in detail.
 
 
 
 
-------  any one have gummed  tape out there?  need   some to  demo with  
with the water wetter things and etc   when  that  display is gathered 
together.

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.

Regards,
David M.
