---The Western ElectricCW-936 Radiotelephone set was developed by Western Electric for the Departmentof the Navy during WWI for use primarily on sub chaser (U-Boat) ships. ÂThe complete CW-936Radiotelephone set consisted of the following major components:  The WE CW-928 power switch board,  two CW-927 dynamotors,  the CW-938 transmitter-receiver,  the CW-926A audio amplifier,  the CW-969 antenna switch,  the CW-930 microphone,  the CW-834 headset and  the CW-929 Horn Speaker.ÂÂThe transmitter and theaudio amplifier operated directly off the 350 volt outputs of the CW-927dynamotors. The entire system operatedfrom the ship's 30 volt storage batteries. This first completely successfulvoice modulated equipment was designed for use on any one of fivefrequencies. The frequency could beshifted to any one of these, all of which were within the band 500-1,500 kc.,by means of a simple frequency change switch which cut in different fixedvalues of capacity and inductance for each of the five switch positions. ÂFor auction is theCW-938 transmitter-receiver manufactured by Western Electric for the Navy in1918. The piece is in the original woodcase. As seen within the pictures, this isa complete piece with no visible signs of damage. The box and components show no evidence ofmodification or restoration. There are 3VT-1 vacuum tubes and 2 VT-2 vacuum tubes that are intact within thepiece. There are 2 additional VT-2vacuum tubes that will be included within the auction. This is a very rare piece and another may notbe seen for many years.ÂÂGo to www.clevelandonlineauctions.com and search through the list for the auctionwith the Honda Mini-Bike as the photo for the auction.
