[Milsurplus] Boehme Keyers

[howard holden]

Don't know what model Boehme were used in WW2 but we did find an 
Instructograph at the USS Ling. It appears old enough to be of WW2 vintage. 
This one is just the tape player and contacts, no amplifier.

When I was a CW op in the Navy, late 60s, we used teletype-to-CW converters 
for CW broadcasts and for practice for the newbies.

Not a Boehme in sight at either RM A school or at two land stations, both 
with full CW facilities.
