Frequency selection was done by the frequency control lever, which pushed and pulled a shafting through its housing. As you will note, it was for both CW and phone and an antenna reel-in and reel-out switch and was designed to work with one of our first electric remote control reels."Creation Datecirca 1931-1939SubjectLear DevelopmentsRadio--Transmitters and transmissionRadio in aeronauticsAids to air navigationOntario.
