Training Unit This German Bakelite communications unit appears to be a dual-position Morse-code training or monitoring device manufactured by Siemens & Halske. Its face provides paired connections labeled "Taste" (key) and "Hörer" (headphones/receiver), along with a central "Lautstärke" (volume) control. The removable rear panel reveals cloth-covered wiring, metal contact assemblies, and an intertwined S&H-style Siemens & Halske mark. The paired layout likely accommodated two operators or an instructor and student; its precise model and date are unknown. Condition shows age-appropriate scratches, scuffs, finish wear, minor oxidation, and accumulated surface grime. Several wires are loose or disconnected, and the completeness of the internal components is unknown. Measures 8.5 x 6 x 3 inches. Untested; functionality is unknown. An interesting example of early German telecommunications equipment, offering strong display and research appeal for collectors of Morse-code apparatus, radio accessories, Bakelite electronics, and Siemens industrial technology.
