The "armature lock" mentioned in the parts book is  part of the
selector.   See page 4 of Bulletin 1028, right  column.

http://www.aetherltd.com/public/model14manuals/1028B-Iss2-Feb36.pdf

Also  see, on the next page, that there are two different cam sleeve
options, one  with an extra cam track for the armature lock.

The armature lock is a  cam-driven mechanism which locks the
armature in place after it has  received one bit of MARK or SPACE.
If you've worked on a selector, you know  that for parts of
the cycle, the armature won't move. That's the armature  lock.
I didn't know there were machines without an armature lock,
but  apparently there were early Model 14 machines without it.
All Model 15  machines, as far as I know, have it.

That has  nothing to do with LTRS/FIGS.  Bulletin 1028
from 1936 doesn't seem to  show the front-mounted bell option,
whatever that bell does.  There  are normally two bells
on a Model 14 - one for BELL, and one for out of  tape.
The second one is mounted on the base near the right  rear.

Many of the manual files  at

http://www.aetherltd.com/manuals.html

are from Jim Haynes;  soma are from Bitsavers.  Recently, I resized some
of the Model 14  files that were displaying as tiny pages. All the .PDF
files should now be  properly sized and printable on letter sized paper.
