ok in the embedded   photo inline  above there   is  switch that  opens and 
closes too!
the lever aside   from  clamping bell clapper also continues  backwards 
towards rear  of the 
printer mech also...   thing  looks  pretty  clean  I have not even dusted  
it  yet  or  anything!
 
This is so different  from what I have seen  before I am  almost  ready 
to consult the ancient Alien Theorists   <<grin!!>

of the front mounted bell on my bell 14

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.
