Thanks for all your help.  This is a really neat transmitter. Here are two other pictures which show even more.

"Field rheostat"
"Pulsating Capacity"

Priceless. Shades of death rays?
Don't try those at home.

Gotta love it !

"Variometer" and "Antenna Change (receive-off-send)" at least I understand.

It would be great to get it working, but it would also be a shame to modify it much.

It looks almost in museum condition.

I would be surprised if their are any nicer examples around.

It's an important piece of radio history, IMO.
