The dynamic Navy Handsets were the H-169/U and were originally developed in 
1959 for use with the emerging SSB equipments to provide a better quality of 
audio than the carbon mikes. There was also a field change kit to replace the 
carbon elements in the old line 'standard' handsets. The H-169/U was colored 
gray to indicate their difference.
