WWI Western Electric SCR-68 Radio Transmitter & Receiver & SCR-57 Interphone
The Western Electric SCR 68 came out in 1918. It was used in airplanes during World War I. The set could both transmit and receive. A reel of antenna wire with a counter, to determine the length of wire needed, was used as the antenna. The radio used VT-1 and VT-2 tubes (not provided). The SCR-68 was used by squadron leaders; the rest of a squadron had only receivers. The SCR-57 Interphone was the control box for the SCR-68 and would allow the pilots to use the set as a radio transmitter and receiver as well as an intercom.
Take a close look at the pictures. I think you will see that the set is complete and in good shape. It includes the wiring schematic for the radio in the airplane as well as a spare grid leak capacitor and resistor. I also have the SCR59 receiver which was used in WWI planes other than the squadron leader who used the SCR68.
