I sold for Xerox in NYC in the mid to late 70's. I handled Govt Accounts out of the NY Downtown Branch. The NY Public Library was a good customer. When I handled them as late as 1978 they had a 914 that was originally installed in 1960 . not only was it still being used daily , it was in pristine condition being taken care of by the same person who was its first and only "key operator". It was spotless and made perfect copies. The reason it remained - it was the only machine at that time that could handle the then used perforated 110 1b cardstock that created the copies of the Library Card file system. It may still be there ..or maybe it was the one used on Mad Men since it was identical and was installed on the corner of 5 Fifth Ave and 42nd St where the Library has its main branch....not from from "Madison Ave"....a great memory
