This is for Dave Rabinowitz, who is trying to get a Model 15 going.
He's having motor gearset problems, with a broken gear.
His machine has these gears.
74505 PINION (7 teeth) on the motor shaft, which meshes with
74151 GEAR (35 teeth) [the broken one]
That matches this Teletype manual:

That's an Army manual. Not sure what speed those gears are for.
They only list one option, so that was apparently the Army
standard.
Here's a list, from a ham sales company, in 1971, that
has all the gears:

That shows the 74912/74913 pair for 60-speed machines,
which is what I've read elsewhere.
Nothing in that table matches the Army manual.
So, 1) does anybody know what speed the 75505/74151 pair
runs at, and what's the situation on getting replacement
gear pairs?
