    When I received this unit it came without a wooden case, microphone or battery cables.  It did come with a name plate showing the top chassis layout which was a bonus. 

    There are two two pin sockets mounted on the chassis which are identified as Rec and Trans. A variant of this radio a Humble Radiophone Model P12F had these same sockets on the chassis, without anything connected to them, Both the speaker and microphone were hard wired to the unit so it would only be a guess to know what they were specifically for.

    Power Requirements:
    Power for the entire Radiophone is supplied from dry batteries. There are two groups of "A" and "B" Batteries which are described as "Normal Duty Batteries" and "Light weight batteries".  Two cables are provided, one for the normal-duty and one for the light weight batteries. Either set of batteries may be connected to the Radiophone by plugging the cable into the cable socket on the front of the radio. The later model variant’s of this radio have the battery cable(s) directly wired into the chassis.
