To my humble knowledge, that is a current (flame proof) radio
telegraph key. I have one of those marked CTE-26003A at my
collection.It is an excellent smooth key for sending good
Morse code over radio, but nothing to do with the big Scott
curtain lamps for sending visual code at the Navy, where the
code blinking was machanically made opening and closing the
curtain.
