  • Model L 1/2 KW Emergency Transmitter manufactured for the Navy Dept BU. of Steam Eng. by the Wireless Specialty Apparatus Company.

    This was manufactured in Boston, Massachusetts in 1918.

    From the description plate, it appears to run on both 110 volts dc and 115 volts AC. According to one of the other plates, this would transmit on 500, 600 and 952 meter wavelengths. In today's terms that would be 600 kHz, 500 kHz and 315 kHz.
