Here is the latest photo prop added to our children's section. Bring
you camera.

Below is a very good explanation of last weeks Mystery photo. It was
sent in by one of our viewers.
*****************************************************************************************************************
It's a Vibroplex high speed manual morse telegraph key, used for
land-line American Morse and for international Morse radio
transmissions. There was a weighted, vibrating contact that you would
activate by right and left movements of the key. Pushing the key to the
sides would produce strings of dits or dahs and a good operator could
really fly with one. Most operators would buy and keep their own. Navy
radio operators had to qualify on them and needed to possess a speed-key
certificate before they could use them. The pre-teletype AP and UP
Morse operators would use them and I am sure lots of RR Oprs would have
had them, especially if they were in offices handling lots of message
traffic.
******************************************************************************************************************

The Depot is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 19 to 4.
