fv1609 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Wireless, telgraph, phone mobile exchange. Tony yes well done I had plans to unveil a few more bits, but you lot are too good even without RF here. This seems to be a WW1 era wireless telegraphy station. The clue is his arm position & the characteristic "fist" of a telegraphist on the key. Quite a different position for the knuckles than if he was writing.
