Asbestos! Use it on your desk! On your clothes! Near food!
(from the Modern Mechanix blog)
looks like the older round-keyed QDL, from the shape of the carriage return lever.
ReplyDeleteMmmm ... spray the whole room with DDT while you're at it.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Early QDL, and 100 series bakelite telephone. Although, I have no idea why the phone needed a shingle, as it got neither particularly warm, or noisy - as the ringer was an external unit.
