I find that I have a picture of a cable amplifying station for an
undersea telegraph cable. I assume there are polar relays at the
bottom of the cabinet and a lot of knobs to balance the cable for
duplex operation. If anyone can shed more light on this, beyond what
is in the AT&T books discussed recently (and there is a lot in
there), I would like to know more. Other pictures of this station
confirm that it was for model 15 Teletype operation, not Morse. This
cabinet was located in Cold Bay AK at Ft Randall in 1947. I am
located at the other end of the cable which is largely still in place
with the inshore ends damaged. http://www.kadiak.org/radios/sub_cable.html
