    Description

    For Auction:
    A FAIR, but reuseable 1930's Contact Wedge often used to parallel connect a telegraphers bug to a standard straight key.  Made either by or for WU.  These were used to parallel with a set of relay points or lever switch contacts.  The architecture accommodated the wedge being inserted under a curved spring plate on the standard telegraph key of the day (think AT&T No 2 key).  Which influenced which is a curious tale.  Only history knows which came first.  If straight keys have anything to say for the issue it is that they started the use.
    Condition:
    FAIR, reuseable.  If carefully disassembled a replacement cloth cord could be reattached.  We leave this chore fore the new owner.
    Terms:
    This wedge is auctioned as a desirable commodity and will be well packed.  It is offered AS IS and it is not returnable.  Please contact me NOW if you have any questions.
