>See page 43 for close up photos of the addition to the keys and a few examples of this very rare and unusual method of keying unknown outside Russia. I call it a "cootie dasher."

>The translated text with additional comments by myself in [brackets] is:
> 
>SEMI-AUTOMATIC MECHANIC KEYS ON SERVICE IN THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR [WWII]
> 
>The second BUG knob - the right one [the one on the right] - is a sign [indication] to indicate that this the key was most likely used during the war.
> 
>The fact is that such a BUG specification [design] has become simply necessary, and there were several reasons for this.  The main thing is the handwriting in the transmission of the radio operator.  On-
> For example, one radio operator tends to lengthen the second `` dash '' in  letter Щ,
> those.  _ ___ _, another - to shorten the last dash "in the number 1,
> those.  _ __ ______ or lengthen the second line in the number 7,
> those.  ___ __ _
> There are a lot of options for handwriting [telegraphy "fist"] features.
> Identification of these features was one of the most important tasks of radio monitoring intelligence of the Gestapo.  According to them, it was possible with a very high degree of reliability [to] determine the location or movement of military units or groups.
> 
> So the second pen [lever] on BUG allowed you to transfer the sequence "dash" with a uniformity close to automatic transmission.  Sketch signs [elongated dashes] were eliminated almost completely, the transmission quality was significantly improved and the speed increased.
> 
>Such ``two-handed '' semiautomatic devices were most effectively used in special   radiosservices of the USSR and many more years - until the end of the 80s - after the war. The second the pen [lever](photo 55a, 55b), as a rule, was attached to the existing BUG (photo 
> 55-58).
> Made in the USSR at the beginning of World War II for use on
> communication lines of special radio services. Limited number of telegraph keys during the war were produced by the Moscow plant Electropribor.
