[Boatanchors] Help with relay ID

If you are planning on using a relay to key the rig
and the VFO remember that the contacts to key the VFO
have to "make" before those that key the transmitter
and the contacts that key the transmitter have to
"break" before those that key the VFO. This will
greatly reduce the "chirp" from the VFO since it will
be turned on before the transmitter and remain on
after the transmitter ceases.
I used such an arrangement on my original WRL 755 VFO
and Globe Chief 90A. The relay that I came up with
could follow a bug up to around 45 wpm. It was a bit
noisey, but it definitely worked.

I have several CP Clare # HG 3056 relays that I am
trying to identify. I would like to know the coil
voltage and current and the contact rating.
