[GreenKeys] model 14 and 2B questions

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Steve -  add this info  to make it clearer ..
my 14   tape  printer  with bell label has  a  11/16 on output   but  a 3/8 
on input  it is a 14   3/8    one...
 
the tape printers WU or BELL  do not have sprocket  holes on  the  3/8 or  
wu thinner  tape.
 
do you have a photo of  your old  unit!?

Hi Guys,
Was talking with a buddy earlier about  the printing only version of the 
model
14 that printed on gummed tape. Was this the  model 2B? My very first 
machine
was one of these. Wish I had kept it. More  questions; did it use 3/8" tape
and were there feed holes or was the mechanism  for pulling the tape 11/16 
on one  sire  and  3/8 the   
friction drive? Seem to remember friction drive  and 3/8" tape but that
was decades ago!
 
While looking at a picture of one m14 I noticed  there were two feed troughs
that seemed to accomodate the standard 11/16"  tape and a narrower tape.
Maybe the 3/8" gummed tape? Can anyone verify  machines were made this way? 
The m14 typing reperfs I have here are strictly for 11/16" tape. TIA
                   Steve  W6SSP
