[GreenKeys] Patch cables needed

[Christian Gauger-Cosgrove]

With regards to patch panels if you're looking to make one, you can
order the correct jacks from Switchcraft, unfortunately they're
special order types so you'll be paying a pretty penny for them...

In any case from my "research" into it, based on the manuals provided
on Nick's site:
Western Electric Type 303A Jack ---> Switchcraft MT332C
Western Electric Type 438C Jack --> Switchcraft CMT336E
Western Electric Type 552A Switch --> Switchcraft 11206L
Western Electric Type 458 Socket + WECo 2Y Lamp + WECo 2H Lamp Cap --> ?
M642/1-1 (1/4" Longframe, Black handle) --> Switchcraft 420
M642/1-2 (1/4" Longframe, Red handle) --> Switchcraft 425

The switch and lamp are shown in this PDF of Army patch panels
<http://www.virhistory.com/navy/tty/ttypatch-usa-01.pdf>.


For the different kinds of switchboards illustrated on Nick's site you
would need:
SB-6 --> 12 MT332C, 4 CMT336E
SB-1203 --> 24 MT332C, 6 CMT336E
SB-1210 --> 18 MT332C, 12 CMT336E
SB-3576 --> 72 MT332C, 48 CMT336E, 1 MT331

Meters, potentiometers, et cetera; are left to the reader to
determine. (Read: "I can't be arsed to go find information for that
right now.")


Hope this is helpful to anyone interested in making a patch panel.



Cheers,
Christian
