Shorpy strikes again
Another interesting picture on Shorpy:
Per a friend: the key is probably screwed to the table top. The wires to the key are routed through a hole in the table top. The cutout in the desk is probably for a typewriter. The space may be a little too tight for a swivel chair but one is certainly justified. The tin on the sounder makes it louder.

| the tin on the sounder looks like a Big Ben tin that has been cut down |
Which reminds me of a Novice incident I heard about: a Novice ham radio operator is copying a QSO and writes this down: SO LID CPY which he took as an insult (so LID copy) but really just a matter of incorrect spacing either in sending or writing (SOLID CPY ?). I guess if you put a lid on the tin, the sounder isn't quite as loud which is handy if the sending operator has a poor fist.
