[GreenKeys] model 14 and 2B questions

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Yes Jeff...   yea  an unbelievable amount of  telegrams!
according to Jim Haynes, the  paper shaving   for cost  cutting  was a 
result of an employee suggestion!
 
the thinner  tape  will  go thou the 3/8 inch    machines  but not 
backwards  unless you change the guides out...   I  was  hunting xtra guides  so  
the demo production  machine  at smecc  could use whatever size we had the 
most paper   for <<grin!!>>
 
Ed!

Western  Union was a large outfit.
It makes sense that they'd shave the paper to the  absolute minimum that
was needed. Over the course of thousands of telegrams  a 1/16 of an inch
adds up.

Western Union, Western Electric, Bell  Systems, they ALL did cost analysis.
And if Western Union told (not asked)  the Teletype corporation "We want"
the Teletype corporation responded with  "Sure, how many?"
