According to this fairly detailed review, it is 14", although visually I had judged it flatter than that:

I've always assumed it's an infinite radius (looks it) because the bridge is flat and there no individual adjustment for each saddle/string 

 

**I stand corrected, see next post

No - there's definitely a radius.  This is an original 60's one I worked on a few years ago:

 

And here's a modern replacement bridge...pretty much identical to the original ones:

 

 

 

And looking at these, yes - 14" looks about right
