Teletype Corp originally referred to that machine as the "Single Magnet 
Reperforator" (Bul. No. 147). I think it must have been Teletype Corp.'s 
first reperforator. It was also know as the "RPE" model. ("Single 
Magnet" refers to the fact that it was a Stop-Start, serial machine, as 
opposed to the synchronous machines that had 5 magnets.)

It was typically used with the M19 and sat on a little dolly that rolled 
under the M19 desk.  There was a later version that had the same case, 
but had a M14 reperf inside.
