Where her left hand is would appear to be the power switch on the Model
15. But then she is tuning the radio receiver with her right hand.
It's curious there is a plain old oscilloscope next to the receiver.
In a ham station that would be the RTTY tuning indicator, but there is
no RTTY converter visible in the picture. Except the receiver suggests
that it is a RTTY installation.
Another interesting feature is the Model 14 reperf mounted above the XD on
the 19. We've often discussed that this was a popular arrangement even
though Teletype wanted to put the reperf under the table on a little
stool with casters. The framework holding up the reperf is made of
steel rods, unlike the Western Electric ones that were made of wood or
sheet metal. So I would guess it was locally fabricated.
