The ARH type might be called the stereotype
J-38 Key. Note the bakelite base with beveled edges, "J-38",
"<--LINE-->", and
"<--TEL-->" stamped (engraved?) in white on the base,
rear binding posts strapped together and mounted directly on the
base, oval frame with a well cast into a bulge in the front to hold
the spring, adjustable spring tension and contact spacing with lock
nuts, adjustable trunnion screws with lock nuts, anvil strapped to
left inner binding post, circuit closing switch that slides under
the anvil strap at the front to short circuit the key, and the
eye screw on the left rear of the base for attaching the stay cord
on the headphones. |

Here you can see the small positioning pin which fits into the
bottom of each rear binding post and through a slot in the
shorting strap and into a hole in the base. These positioning
pins keep the holes for the connecting plugs in the rear binding
posts parallel to the
center line of the key. |
