I am confused at your attached pictures -- the first B&W one looks to be a 2B tape printer, but the second color pic is clearly an M14 that prints/punches on 11/16" tape.

Thanks for your note Bill.  I'm still on the steep part of the learning curve on these things.

The photo I sent actually does show the case on the 2B we have.  And indeed the tape shown appears to be "standard" 11/16.

But below the hood it is a 2B as shown in the attached photo.  As you can see, to the left of the print platern there are two guides, one for skinny and one for narrow tape, both friction feed.

The case is missing the two holes on the front of the 2B case in the 1946 photo.

Could it be that a M14 case was placed on the 2B tape printer?
