[GreenKeys] Re: name this radio or possibly telegraph equipment?

[Jim Haynes]

The item on top is a receiver, either BC-312 or BC-342  (they look the 
same and are the same except for the internal power supply and the label)
These were used mostly in mobile HF stations such as the SCR-299.

The tape machine on the bottom appears to be a photoelectric reader for
inked Morse code tape.  These were used mostly for code practice
transmissions.  The tape machine in the middle I don't recognize.
It might be a transmitter for punched Morse code tape.
