CONVERSE HEADSETS

Before the introduction of the light weight headset in the late 19050;s that incorporated the transmitter and receiver into one unit, the transmitter and receiver were supplied as two units.

These were generally used by switchboard operators or test clerks.

The transmitter was mounted on a plate which hung from the neck and was nicknamed a breast plate transmitter, even though the official title was 'Transmitter'.  The receiver was connected to a head band and was called a 'Receivers, Headgear'.
