[GreenKeys] SMECC NEEDS PADS OF TELEGRAM FORMS FOR DISPLAY WU AND RCA Bot...

Sat Nov 26 21:20:01 EST 2016

    I made an adaptor for my one and only Navy battle lantern. I used a 
couple of D cell holders from Radio Shack. That also allows me to use a 
different lamp if I choose. I kept the wooden spacers for the large 
cells so I could use them if I ever found any new ones. When I was a kid 
it seems to me they were very easy to get and not expensive.
    The crank phones were out in the Michigan countryside in a place we 
went every summer. All those phones were installed by basketball 
players. I had to stand on a chair to use one.
