144 print positionss; LRECL=145 for FB{A|M} and 149 for VB{A|M}; 1443
sounds right. For background, and device with a 14xx model number was
originally[1] sold for use on a 14xx/7010 machine, any device with a
2xxx model number was originally sold for use on a S/360 system and
any device with a 3xxx model number was originally sold for use on a
S/370 system. In later years I started seeing devices that deviate
from the old numbering rules.

[1] But may have been more common on the 70xx systems than on the
    1401, 1410, 1440, 1460 and 7010.
