[GreenKeys] Interesting motor

[Duncan Brown]

Looks like it is for high-speed Morse.  The wheel on the end is encoded 
with dots & dashes - I can see "RIS" on it - probably part of a callsign 
or location.  These were used to key transmitters when there was not 
traffic to keep the channel open and for propagation testing.  I've 
never seen one like this, but they were often referred to as a "Wheel".

Maybe RD at MRHS can enlighten us??
