[GreenKeys] Slightly OT: CW keyer for a transmitter? (Boehme wheel)

[Duncan Brown]

I looked through our Boehme literature at the AWA Museum (we don't have 
much on Boehme) and could not find anything that looked like this unit.  
The closest I could come was the Boehme "Vari-Speed Tape Puller" Type 
8-F. It uses the exact same motor with the same Fast-Slow controls, but 
doesn't have the calibrated speed dial.  You can see a picture at  
http://navy-radio.com/morse.htm "Tape Pullers" about half-way down the 
page.  I also searched the Internet for Boehme equipment, but didn't 
find much.

have fun,

Duncan
