This is an original J-38 US Army Signal corps Key Telegraph. The base plate measures 3\" x 4 3/4\" and the box 3 1/4\" x 1 3/4\" x 6 1/4\".This J-38 came with the other J-38 I have listed with it\'s original box which lists the maker as The American Radio Hardware Co. This unit does not come with a box.

The Signal Corps J-38 was a Morse Code training key, included with various Army school systems during World War Two. The key was produced in huge numbers in the 1940s and later. Five were included in the AN/GGQ-1 code practice set; twenty-two J-38 keys were included with the World War Two EE-81 school system; and forty-four with the EE-95-F system.

As used in the larger school systems, each student\'s key was screwed to the table, and was wired into the system with two wires connected to the \"LINE\" terminals. The headphones connected to the \"TEL\" terminals. The staycord of the headphone cable was tied to the small eyescrew, to avoid strain on the headphone wires. With his circuit closer closed, the student could listen to the practice code generated over the line. To practice sending, the student would open his key\'s circuit closer.
