[GreenKeys] model 14 and 2B questions

[Jim Haynes]

Thanks for the photo.  There are a lot of Western Union-ish details there.
I can't tell the width of the tape from the photo, but

     Celluloid keytops rather than sprint cushion were preferred by W.U.

     To the left of the printer is a "gumming desk" for holding telegram
     forms and gumming the paper tape to them.  The common W.U. gumming
     desk looks exactly the same except it is twice as wide.  The left
     side of a W.U. desk has a clip like a clipboard to hold a message
     number checkoff sheet.

     The jack box where the printer cords are plugged in is typical of
     W.U.  It's actually a box used in wire telegraph days, repurposed
     as a printer jack box.

     Behind the printer is a circular base for something like a W.U.
     polar relay, and it is fitted with an adapter to allow a W.U.
     neutral relay 41C to be used in it.

     The box attached to the top of the printer is also typical of W.U.
     boxes used to hold things like blank telegram forms, special forms
     (birthday and holiday, for instance), sent messages, etc.  Except
     I never saw one mounted on top of the printer in a W.U. installation.
     They would have attached it to the table top.

     The time stamp in the background is also typical of W.U. operating
     tables.  However W.U. used time stamps that were driven off the
     W.U. clock service.  A DC pulse once per minute stepped the W.U.
     time stamps.  The one in the picture looks more like a fairly modern
     AC-operated time stamp.
