COLLECTOR GIL SCHLEHMAN - K9WDY:
Gil Schlehman has been collecting Telegraph Keys for many years. He
specializes in Semi-Automatic and Automatic Keys ('bugs') but he has also
acquired outstanding examples of Early Landline, Wireless, Military, and
Paddle Keys. This CD displays his collection in a series of 383 labeled high
resolution color photographs that can be viewed in linear pages dedicated to
each category of key. Each picture can be enlarged to allow study of fine
details by simply clicking on the photo. In additon, a total of 545 Telegraph
Patent Drawings, Advertisements and Articles are included for historical and
reference purposes.
ORGANIZATION OF THE CD:
Clicking on the items in the index of this CD will lead you into the various
sections.

the internet at the top of the www.w1tp.com page in the section devoted to the
announcement of the Gil Schlehman Telegraph Collection CD.
GIL SCHLEHMAN'S TELEGRAPH KEY COLLECTION (383 color photographs):
There are 6 large picture-filled pages dedicated to each major
type of key. The keys are presented on each page in alphabetical order

picture to help you locate it on the disk if you should want to examine it
more closely.
You may use the 'search' feature of your browser ( edit/find-on-this-page ) to
research other names, manufacturers, and countries of origin. You may also
use the 'print' feature to print the photos. This also applies to the
following sections.
