A 1945 Vibroflex Lightning semi-automatic key, aka "bug," for sending morse code, which like a fountain pen, is a real pleasure to use.

Once upon a time I was able to send around 22 or so WPM on a straight key but never did satisfactorily handle the bug ... which, at that time, were not allowed om naval circuits. I suppose Morse has gone the way of the dinasaures ... Thanks for the memories. J-J

Fascinating to see this. Very nice detail and a great job with the long exposure. "V"
