Izzat an ATC loading coil box in the lower left? I'm just guessing, from the size of the
insulators. Also, what is that 3 ( or 5 ? ) position control box mounted by itself on the wall?
Also, why is the key mounted so it's best suited to a lefthanded child? ( I mean knob on the
left, and not much room for the arm there ). Or is it meant to be keyed the way the 
Japanese trained their radio operators, arm well above the key, and swing from the elbow?
( No, i doubt that! )
And yes, you'd think the radio op needs a way to tune the ARB maybe also? Some of the
China fields or less important Pacific island stations only had HF.  I suppose the radio op
could retune the ATB if he needed, using the LM, but then what?  -Hue
