A Cable Telegraph Key By Elliott Brothers of London
Here is one view of a nice double lever cable key by Elliott Brothers of London. Both levers act as individual keys and work excellent. This one received from Germany via Ebay last year 2008. Also shown is the Cayman Island old commerative postal stamp with the cable key like this one, similar, I think also by Elliott Brothers of London.
THE JRC KY-3A MORSE KEY
This photo shows the real nice JRC KY-3A received from England March 1st 2008. The background photo is of the MV Shenshi, a Japanese built 170,000 ton ore carrier ship (1977). This key came out of the ship's radio room once the ship went GMDSS. Probably not supplied with original equipment but obtained separately by the Radio Officer for his own use on board. An excellent key with a great solid feel when sending morse.
Norwegian Marine Morse Key
The Norwegian marine morse key shown is a heavy key that was used in the ship radio room of LPG/C "Yarrow", built by Aukra Bruk, Norway in 1982 as the "Nopal Norte" 6,500ton vessel. The ship became GMDSS since about 1992 when the key became unused. The marking that appears on the top of the base is: "ELEKTRISK BUREAU OSLO". It has a long arm to the front and uses rear contacts. Nice adjustments and smooth easy operation.
