[Milsurplus] Navy Blinker-Light Key (additional to previous msg.)

[jcoward5452 at aol.com]

Also, the blinker key that I have has no part number or manufacturer's ID on the base plate. All the others do.

ooks like the little black box over the connecting terminals was used or not 
sed depending on the installation. I have a number of these keys but only one 
ith the 2 min. warning. All have the small black cover.

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.
