My long ago experience with model 15 and 14 (typing reperf) was that they
were available with either pulling or holding magnets. Pulling magnets
were in series for 60 mA. Holding magnets were in parallel for 60 mA and
series for 20 mA.
Do I remember 50 years ago right? And, of course, this is not model 28,
which I've never worked with.
