[ARC5] Basic Question

[jeepp]

I forgot to mention, the letter referenced the C-87/ART-13..... They, of course, have a key.

The ATA and SCR-274N transmitter control boxes boxes have the Morse key button on top.  This is not part of the ARC-5 boxes.
I'd have to dig out my SCR-183/283 manual to be sure whether the transmitter control box in that system has it.

Interesting.  I have a "letter" from, it appears, Wright Field instructing maintenance personnel to remove the Morse key from control boxes as flight crew were found to have jammed various books and such on top of the control box and keying the transmitter inadvertantly.  It goes on to say that when cw or mcw was required for D/F steers, simply key the mic.  It specifically mentions C-47 (R-4D) C-53, and C-54 (R-3D) aircraft that came from the Navy.  Does this jibe with other info??

The RU/GF series had one like that. Bulkhead mount, key was a pushbutton w/a flat head about the size of a quarter (a "T" in cross-section). You could adjust the spring tension and contact gap. designed for use w/ gloves, to be sure! I have one floating around somewhere.

I recall Fair Radio used to sell a WWII vintage 
radio control box that had a CW key built in.  Now, pilots in that era 
received  Morse Code training, and although that probably was 
primarily intended to enable them to translate the code from NDB's was 
there any radio equipment designed to enable pilots, rather than radio 
operators, to send and receive Morse Code signals?
