[GreenKeys] 1/2" wide tape - what for?

[Duncan Brown]

My first thought was for some sort of Morse register, but the package 
label says "Tape, Teletypewriter".

Too bad we can't see the first digit of the Federal Stock Code.  I tried 
searching for what was there, but couldn't find any thing.

FSC for teletypewriters would normally start with "5815-"

What did the early WU 2B printers start out with?
